Les meilleurs hôtels à Tupelo

Apologies to Van Morrison fans, but we weren't able to dig up any sweet information on tupelo honey. Tupelo is, however, the birthplace of the King of Rock, and his pad on the east side of town has been restored for posterity. Locals even named a lake after him, as in their early August "Elvis Presley Lake Bluegrass Festival." Consistent with much of the South, this northeast Mississippi town is rich in Civil War history, evidenced by the Tupelo National Battlefield, where Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forest was victorious in the 1864 battle of Brice's Crossroads. Tupelo also hatched the first U.S. fish hatchery. Modern times find Tupelo High School named as one of the nation's top 65 by Redbook magazine. Local attractions include an active community theater. And guests always revel in Tupelo's characteristic Southern hospitality. On the commerce front, merchants come from miles around each month to tempt residents with clothes, antiques and collectibles at the Tupelo Gigantic Flea Market. The region is also the world's largest producer of upholstered furniture. Tupelo's twice-annual furniture market draws thousands of buyers and sellers from around the country.
