Winston County, Mississippi
Winston County is in the heart of Mississippi. Louisville is the county seat, a town with lots of character. It’s located right in the center of the county.
You’ll find rolling hills and forests here, perfect for getting lost on a weekend drive. The Nanih Waiya mound is nearby (just south), an ancient earthwork sacred to the Choctaw people.
This place has got some serious rebel spirit. During the Civil War, they tried to secede from the state because they didn’t want to leave the Union. Talk about sticking to your guns.
