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:
