New Albany
Nestled in the rolling hills of North Mississippi and just an hour south of Memphis, the city of New Albany, Mississippi is a charming little city known for its antique stores, vibrant downtown and friendly people. People have been coming here for years to shop at our galleries, independent clothiers, boutiques, jewelers and speciality shops. The city's convenient location and picturesque placement on the Tallahatchie River make it an ideal destination for a day trip, a weekend trip or as a possible home. As well, the city is quickly becoming renowned for its active, healthy environment. From the BNA Sportsplex and our USTA award-winning tennis facilities, to our disc golf course and the newly opened 44-mile Rails to Trails conversion bike trail, New Albany truly has something for everyone.
