2018 Union County Visitor’s Guide

There is a place that is unquestionably unique but also strangely familiar. It is a place filled with culture and a strong sense of community; a place overflowing with artistic and natural beauty; a thriving downtown and gateway to the Tanglefoot Trail. This place is New Albany, a southern town like no other.

Voted one of America’s Best Southern Small Towns by USA Today, nestled in the heart of the Mississippi hills and located on the banks of the scenic Tallahatchie River, New Albany offers the ideal setting for family and community living. The vibrant downtown area, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, features galleries, antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, and is the gateway to the Tanglefoot Trails, which is Mississippi’s longest Rails to Trails path. Organized in 1840 New Albany is the county seat of Union County and truly is a leader for surrounding communities.

New Albany is recognized for its strong educational system, award winning healthcare, commerce, work ethic, vibrant community activities and the friendly spirit of its citizens. The city actively features a variety of events to highlight its history, celebrate its future and promote the health and wellbeing of its residents.

Home to approximately 8,500 residents, New Albany is a hub to larger cities and major universities.

New Albany is historic, yet progressive and active, yet sedate; thus, New Albany is the optimal setting for family, friends, tourists, and businesses….and enjoyed by all.

So come see who we are. We welcome you. I welcome you.
