How a visit works in Copiah County

Step 1
Find the place
Every stop starts as a pin with real coordinates. In Copiah County, MS the map shows what is listed around you and how far each one is, so the first decision is where to go, and it takes a few seconds.
Step 2
Read the story
The record behind each marker is kept whole: what happened there, when, who was involved, and why it was worth a sign. You read it standing where it happened, which is the part a textbook cannot give you.
Step 3
Get there under your own power
Walk it, run it, hike it, ride it or drive it. Stops in Copiah County, MS are chained into routes that fit the way you move, so a lunch break, a long run or a Saturday drive can all pass through history.
