On July 6th, 1962, William Faulkner, arguably the greatest 20th century American writer, died at…read moreWright's Sanitorium in Byhalia, MS. Today, that sanitorium is gone and torn down. What was once the Sanitorium is now a Shell gas station, and some small buildings behind the gas station. I have been told by a local resident that the houses behind the gas station were houses for attendents at the Sanitorium. She also said that the Sanitorium's main building was located behind the current location of the Shell gas station. As a kid, I had passed by this place several times, and never knew its significance. There is not much to see. There isn't even a historical marker. (I'm sure that in 500 years, just as today we would love to know where the exact death place of Ovid was, people will want to know where Faulkner died.) In the Shell Gas Station, there are some tables, where truckers on Highway 78 can eat a quick lunch of BBQ or fried chicken from the Chester's Fried in the store. It tastes pretty stale. But hopefully, you'll get a chance to sit at the tables there while you silently read Absalom, Absalom! or The Sound and the Fury or The Unvanquished in the Shell gas station called the Byhalia Gas Mart.

Also, both stall doors were broken. Neither of them could lock. After my horrendous experience using the bathroom, it went to go wash my hand. The sink I used was the dirtiest sink I've ever seen. There was dirt and mold all in it. My oh my. Though the gas station was super dirty, getting gas was easy and the snacks were good. Overall, terrible gas station and I do not recommend stopping at it.

I can say these were very nice people, on top of being very affordable. They will do everything to make sure that you are taken care of!
