Mississippi preserves sites that trace the state's history from indigenous settlements through the Civil War and the civil rights movement. The Windsor Ruins stand as remnants of an antebellum mansion, while the Old Capitol Museum documents legislative history. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson presents the struggle for racial equality, and the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale explores the origins of American blues music. Visitors can examine the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians and Winterville Mounds, which provide evidence of precolonial cultures. Natural areas range from the pine forests of De Soto National Forest to the coastal waters surrounding Ship Island. Tishomingo State Park offers trails through forested hills, while Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge protects habitat for migratory birds. Cultural sites such as Rowan Oak, William Faulkner's residence, and Longwood, an unfinished octagonal mansion in Natchez, complement the historical and natural attractions across the state.
