Alcorn County, Mississippi

In the northeast corner of Mississippi, you’ll find Alcorn County with Tennessee to the north. This county might not be famous, but it’s got heart.
Corinth is the county seat, which was a strategic railroad junction that saw fierce fighting. These days, it’s more about community than conflict.
Fishing’s big here. Pickwick Lake is a favorite spot for anglers chasing bass and catfish. The Crossroads Museum tells the area’s story about Native American artifacts, Civil War relics and much more.
