Kemper County, Mississippi
Kemper County is in east-central Mississippi, right on the Alabama border. It’s not a place that makes headlines, and that’s not a bad thing. You won’t find any fancy restaurants or big-city attractions here.
The land here rolls and dips, a mix of forests and farmland that’s easy on the eyes. Kemper County Lake is the biggest water feature with a campground surrounding it.
DeKalb serves as the county seat, But on a quiet evening, watching the sunset paint the sky over a field of soybeans, you might just understand why people call this place home.
