Meridian’s residents celebrate soulful Southern music and local art. Mississippi artists enjoy the spotlight at the Meridian Art Museum, near our hotels in Meridian. The local and regional works range from rough-hewn cabinets to fine acrylic Mississippi landscapes and abstract "found-art" sculptures. Our Meridian hotels are also near the Jimmie Rodgers Museum, where the songs and heritage of the Father of Country Music are honored. Family photographs, guitars and 1920s-era recordings bring to life the music of the man who wrote and sang such country classics as “In the Jailhouse Now” and “Train Whistle Blues.” The museum is located in historic Highland Park, built in 1908 as a "streetcar pleasure park," which connected a rail line to a leafy green with a promenade, gazebo and bandstand.
Spend a balmy afternoon in the shade of a hickory tree, sipping sweet iced tea and watching the passing parade. Downtown Meridian has a cluster of sidewalk cafes just minutes from our hotels in Meridian. Breakfast on a steaming bowl of Southern-style grits and cheese or biscuits smothered in sausage gravy. At dinner, try fresh-caught fried catfish and savory cornbread drizzled with honey. Finish up with a dish of banana pudding.
