Hwy. 43 South 
Original Natchez Trace
 
An original frontier road used by Indians, boatmen, postriders, soldiers, missionaries and government officials. The 450-mile trail stretched from Natchez, Mississippi, through Kosciusko to Nashville, Tennessee. Now part of the National Park System.


Jackson's Well
Legend says that Andrew Jackson 
camped above Kosciusko as he and his troops wearily marched back to Tennessee after the Battle of New Orleans. This camp gave the sick and wounded a chance to rest and recuperate. A 42-foot well was dug and walled with rock on a ridge 100 feet above the old Natchez Trace. Just south of Berea Church.



Shrock House and Community
Shrock House, the first structure in the Shrock Community, was built in 1858. Legend suggests that local Indians participated in the construction of the house in exchange for use of the grist mill and steam saw. The community features Shrock Store and Shrock Church. Located near Goodman on Hwy. 14.


Alexander Memorial 
Presbyterian Church
This church was organized in 1884 and moved to its present location on Tipton Street in 1910. It served as a black Christian educational site for the community for many years. Jimmy Carr served as pastor for 62 years. Today, a cultural outreach center is attached to the church.

Bluff Springs Manor
The only landmark remaining at Bluff Springs Village is an 1854 antebellum colonial-style house. Magnus Teague gave it to his fourth daughter, Bettie, a a dowry upon her marriage to Colonel J.K. Coffey. Located eight miles west of Kosciusko on Hwy. 12. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.


Bethel Church
Seven miles north of Kosciusko (off Hwy. 35 North) stands Bethel Methodist Church. Organized around 1840, the present structure was built after the Civil War. Many pioneer citizens are buried in the church-yard cemetery. More recently, it is the burial place of A. Boyd Campbell of Jackson, Mississippi, who was the President of the United States Chamber of Commerce in 1955.

New Hope Lutheran Church
The mother church of Mississippi Lutherans is nestled in an oak and pine grove three miles south of Sallis. The Rev. George H. Brown, a South Carolinian, organized the congregation in 1846. The present structure, reminiscent of a colonial meeting house, was built around the turn of the century. The building is open only on weekends.


Palmer Hall

Less than a mile east of Hesterville on Hwy. 35 North stands Palmer Hall, home of Bethel Lodge No. 107 of the Masonic Order. Organized in 1848, this lodge has been meeting here continuously since 1851 when the building was constructed.
