No. 1: Best Small Town in the South
Though it's home to Mississippi State University, Starkville is much more than just a college town. You'll find a thriving arts scene, multiple historic districts, many opportunities for birdwatching, and plenty of great food. Be sure to check out the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library, a treasure trove of artifacts and correspondence.
