Starkville, home of Mississippi State University (MSU), ranks high among the top college towns in Mississippi. It’s easy to see why this charming city is widely-adored for its sports, outdoor activities and downtown area.
Found on the campus of MSU in the Mitchell Memorial Library, is the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library holding artifacts and personal items of Grant’s life, role in the Civil War and time as president. Another gem in the campus library is the John Grisham Room, showcasing awards and pieces from this best-selling author and Mississippi native.
