Meridian, MS

We spent a day in the town of Meridian, MS.  A town rich in history.


This is known as a Sherman bow tie from Sherman's march during the Civil War. They would take the rail from the rail road and heat them and bend them around a tree so that they could not be reused. 




We also visited a park in Meridian that had a carousel from 1904.  It is still in operation, however, only on the weekends, so we didn't get to ride it.  The pictures below are of the carousel and the park.





Lastly, we visited a waterfall and an old mill that is outside of town a little ways.  The mill was put in to operation in the mid 1800s.  The water wheel no longer turns, but you can tour the mill and the falls.  Quite spectacular.
