Small towns make great vacation destinations. Luckily, we’ve got lots of small towns in Mississippi. Even luckier, Mississippi’s very own Canton is being called one of the best small town vacations in America!
The recent recognition only confirms what locals already knew – Canton is a must-visit!
Though small (Canton has around 13,000 residents), the town is brimming with things to do and sites to see, which is why the Canton Convention and Visitors Bureau is a great place to start your visit.
Of course, you can always explore Canton on your own. Pretty easy to navigate, a majority of the town’s best sites are located near the historic Courthouse Square.
And no Canton vacation would be complete without a visit to the Canton Movie Museums, which house sets and props from well-known movies, like A Time To Kill and My Dog Skip.
