Adams County, Mississippi

Adams County sits in the southwest corner of Mississippi. It’s definitely where history and nature collide. The Mighty Mississippi flows along its western border, carving out its landscape.
Natchez is the county seat and it boasts more antebellum homes than any other U.S. city. Imagine that. Spanish moss drapes from ancient oaks, with tales of the past. The county’s roots run deep, with Native American mounds dating back over a thousand years.
Fishing, hunting, and outdoor adventures beckon in the lush forests and winding creeks. Don’t miss the spring and fall pilgrimages, when historic homes open their doors to curious visitors.
