The teddy bear is among the most well known of all Mississippi inventions; however, not many are aware that Mississippi is home to the world’s largest collection of stuffed bears. It’s pretty unbelievable, especially when you take into account that the enormous collection is tucked away in a tiny town.

No other bear collection compares to the one found at the Teddy Bear House Museum in Picayune, a small town in Pearl River County.

After running the museum in Louisiana for quite some time, the owner decided to move the museum to Mississippi, which only seemed right given the state’s link to the stuffed bear.
Today, visitors of all ages can visit the museum and embark on a “magical tour through fantasy and history.”
