Bound to evoke feelings of enchantment and delight, the term “fairy tale” should only be used to describe places that are truly spectacular – and in the case of Water Valley, it couldn’t be more fitting. Home to less than 4,000 residents, the picturesque town looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. Take a look:
Water Valley is a small town located in the north Mississippi hills, just south of Oxford.
Featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, it also includes a lunch counter that's known for serving "the best sandwiches in a 30 mile radius."
Boasting an impressive arts scene complete with a couple of galleries, Water Valley provides the perfect opportunity to get in touch with your creative side.
You'll also have the opportunity to learn about the town's railroad history at the Casey Jones Railroad Museum. The free-of-charge museum features an array of railroad items, photographs, and documents.
Extend your visit to Water Valley by booking a stay at the Whippoorwill Hotel. The lovely boutique hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of downtown Water Valley, ensuring you don't miss a thing.
