There are beautiful churches all over Mississippi. However, there’s one town that seems to be overflowing with beautiful religious structures – and it’s New Albany. The abundance of churches is even more impressive when you take into account the town’s small size. Not only beautiful, many of the churches are historically significant, making them even more special. Take a look:
Located in Union County, New Albany is known for its plethora of antique stores, vibrant downtown, and friendly residents. But that’s not all the town has to brag about.
In recent years, the Union County Historical Society and Heritage Museum created the Hallelujah Trail as a way to commemorate the county’s historic churches.
You can do more than view the exterior of the churches, though. Since all the churches on the Hallelujah Trail are still in operation, you can attend a service and experience the church in all its glory.
In addition to great antique shops and a lively downtown, New Albany offers plenty of opportunities for small town fun. The Tanglefoot Trail, Wolf Howl Animal Preserve, and a variety of festivals are just a few things to keep you busy while visiting.
