Franklin County, Mississippi

Franklin County is located in southwest Mississippi. It has deep roots because it was one of the original counties when Mississippi became a state.
The Homochitto National Forest covers a big chunk of the county. Hunters and hikers love this place. The mighty Mississippi forms the western border, with bluffs and their river views.
Locals swear by the catfish at the Bude Truck Stop. You’ll hear more tractors than traffic here. It’s small in size. But what this place lacks in size, it makes up for in character.
