We picked the Old State Capital Museum. Got there with an hour and a half before closing, so we rolled through. Neat old building with lots of history. Admission - FREE!
Canton's not far off the Trace, so we took a detour to see the little town that Hollywood likes for it's classic town square. Films shot here include "My Dog Skip" (classic dog movie, but some kind of tear jerker, if you're a dog person), "A Time to Kill", and "O Brother, Where Art Thou".
Finally we hit the swamp trail along the Trace. This was one of the trails I had been looking forward to. Wife, not so much. Gators and snakes behind every tree you know. Worth a walk.
Time to put the steel steed to bed and Kosciusko looked like a good place. Kosciusko's claim to fame I suppose is Oprah (grew up here). Kosciusko was a bit of a surprise. Nice little square (like Canton) with shops, etc. We picked the Maple Terrace Inn B&B.
Like in Natchez, we had the whole place to ourselves. Great house built in 1912 (?). One of those you could picture yourself living in in small town America. Screened in porch with swing. What more do you need?
Breakfast was a little non-standard, but nice. Go a couple of blocks to the Rib Alley Restaurant, pick your food and enjoy.
Nice breakfast to keep my aortic plaque buildup going.
