Mississippi Ghost Towns

Mississippi’s ghost towns are deeply intertwined with the state’s cotton, timber, and turpentine history. Former plantation communities, lumber camp towns, and small Delta settlements bypassed by economic development all left abandoned traces across the state. Mississippi ghost towns carry the weight of the Deep South’s complex history, and many of them are found in remote areas that see very few visitors.
