Welcome to the Corinth Crossroads!
Corinth, Mississippi, was founded in 1853 where two railroads crossed:
The Mobile and Ohio Railroad and The Memphis and Charleston Railroad.
The city was originally named Cross City, but the name was soon changed to Corinth.
The Crossroads Museum contains
American Indian artifacts, railroad history displays, aviation memorabilia,
and relics from the American Civil War.
.
This more modern day caboose (built in 1970) is open for tours
.
On the first Saturday of each month, April to November,
the Crossroads is transformed into The Green Market
for local farmers, gardeners, craftsmen, and artisans to sell their wares.
(There is a regular Farmer's Market elsewhere in the city, too).
It was too early in the year for fresh home-grown vegetables,
but there was still plenty of locally produced food for sale.
In a nearby booth, a beekeeper was selling honey.
.
The many craft booths added bright colors to the day.
.
A local artisan produces lovely pottery!
.
Several booths had plants for sale.
.
And even if you don't have a green thumb, you can still have flowers!
The artist will add a name or phrase to personalize them.
.
I hope you are having a beautiful day!
