We visited Tupelo, Mississippi as a stop on our Gulf Coast Road Trip.

We planned visiting Tupelo as a stopping point be cause it’s between Oklahoma and Florida and there are interesting things to see and do there.

Tupelo Visitor Center

Sadly we only got to see the visitor center from the windows but it looked outstanding! For some reason they are closed Saturdays and Sundays even during the summer. For more info on the visitor center check out their official site.

Tupelo Battlefield

Tupelo Battlefield is a great place to stretch your legs and learn some history. Check out our article covering our experience there and everything you need to know about it.

Elvis’ Birthplace

The Birthplace of Elvis Presley is an interesting place to stop in Tupelo . Whether you are an Elvis fan or not it’s still a great place to see how someone can go from such humble beginnings to superstar. Check out our article all about it here.

Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo

We didn’t have time for the Buffalo Park and Zoo but we wish we did. Find out all about it at their official site.

Tombigbee State Park

We originally planned on visiting Tombigbee State park but it was having issues with flooding so we continue on to Alabama and camped at Payne Lake in The Talledega National Forest. Find out more about the park here.
