"All things shall pass. Only the stones will remain". Words…read morespoken by an elder of the Yuchi tribe, the Wichahpi Commemorative Stone Wall is currently the largest unmortared wall in the United States. Built by hand by Tom Hendrix to memorialize his Native American great-great grandmother, Te-lah-nay. It represents one woman's courageous journey back to her homeland after being relocated to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. She spent five years retracing her steps, eventually making her way back to her Yuchi tribe's native land near present day Florence, Alabama. She is the only documented Native American to return. The wall is a place of spirituality and ensures that the legends will never fade. Thank you Mr. Hendrix, you are a testament to your ancestors and a true treasure.

Tour times don't seem to be specified anywhere, but when we randomly stopped in early on a Saturday afternoon, we only had to wait 10 minutes or so. We were 2 of just 5 on tour, so nicely intimate. The starting point is the parking and building across the street from the house. We were told not to sit anywhere or touch anything, A bit of a downer for someone like me who is constantly leaning or sitting, but the tour is not particularly long, and the house did have a/c installed by the original owners, so it's not uncomfortable. Fascinating smaller example of a FLW style house.

One legendary business downtown that is deserving of a visit is Borroums Drug Store. It was founded…read morein 1865 by former CSA army surgeon A.J. Borroum. It is the oldest drug store in continuous operation in Mississippi. It is considered a "free museum" also because they have on display, Native American arrowheads, Civil War relics, and an authentic, working soda fountain. This business has been owned and operated by the Borroum family since its founding. I worked at Borroum's for a short time. I remember listening to Mrs. Camille recall an incident from her childhood of her and her father being held up at shotgun point. Mrs. Camille was the first certified female druggist in the state of Mississippi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt0ugLzb2ws&sns=em Some locals can be seen talking about Corinth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFmD_7VjXg0&sns=em Biggers Hardware opened in 1918 and has been a mainstay in the community ever since. The store's ownership is in the fourth generation of the Biggers family. December 7,1874, three to four members of the Jesse James-Cole Younger gang rode into Corinth with a plan to rob the Tishomingo Savings Institution. Refusing to cooperate, the bank owner, Alonzo Taylor, allegedly told them, "I'd rather be in hell than in Corinth without money". The outlaws escaped with $15,000. Back in the late 1980s I lived in a small rental house and the landlord claimed that the gang rode through a part of the land, even pointing to the general area in which they rode. Corinth native, Roscoe Turner is the only Mississippian in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio. Turner is the only three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy Race. He also established the cross-country airplane speed record in 1925. One of Turner's planes is featured in the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institute. There is a small airport named after Turner http://www.yelp.com/biz/roscoe-turner-airport-corinth In 1955, Elvis, Scotty and Bill were to have two performances in the Alcorn County Courthouse/Assembly hall. The shows were sponsored by the Corinth Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) to help raise funds for a playground. It is said there were insufficient ticket sales to have one showing. While in town, Elvis was reputed to have visited Borroum's drug store and by the recollections of Camille Borroum Mitchell, local legend has it he was thought to have temporarily left his guitar there for some unexplained reason. Every year there are various celebrations and events held downtown, such as Hog Wild, Slugburger Festival and the Block Party. Roads are blocked off, talent shows are held, foods are cooked, carnival rides are set up and fun is had by all for a weekend at a time.

(We opted out of this with two wild kiddos and being in from out of town!) While the trail starts on the map where indicated, we recommend parking at the middle school and dropping in midway along the trail. (There's a nice park there as well.) Trail is fairly flat with a few little hills here and there, but overall decent enough that we took a stroller and didn't have any issues beyond just being tired of pushing our youngest. Great views along the way of wooded areas, some little wetland pieces, going under bridges by a busy highway - good variety to keep the little ones entertained and remember landmarks on your return trip of this out and back style trail. Was a wonderful little break to our trip - very happy we found it and highly recommend to anyone passing through.
