Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
Just like many other states, the railroad played a huge part in Mississippi’s history. The first rails arrived in the state in 1835, and before long, Mississippi was home to several major railroads, including Illinois Central and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio. Many of these railroads are now defunct, but the state’s rich history lives on through historic depots. Some depots are still standing, some have been converted to museums, and others remain only in photographs – no matter the circumstance, these charming Mississippi train depots will transport you back to a much simpler time.
It’s always so interesting to look at photos from the past and see how much the state has changed. What other historic train depots can be added to this list?
