Each location on this trail commemorates
a legend in country music, an iconic place, or an important event. There are over 30 markers on this trail in the state, and two out of state, that honor the many contributions Mississippians have made to country music. There are even a couple stops on the trail located right here on the Coast!
You can visit mscountrymusictrail.org for a comprehensive list of every trail marker. You will also find the location of each marker on a map of the state and read a description of each marker if you can’t check them out yourself.

This trail was created in 2011 to honor the people and places that played a role
in the American Civil Rights Movement. The first markers were revealed at the Mississippi Freedom 50th Foundation’s 2011 reunion. Now, there are over 20 sites. In 2022, Visit Mississippi and the Mississippi Humanities Council began working together to expand and maintain the trail. Since they began working together, they are on pace to double the number of markers initially on the trail by the end of the year.
