The Old Tishomingo County Courthouse is a striking example of Romanesque Architecture with Second Empire style influences. This courthouse is the reason why Iuka is known widely as the “Marriage Capital” with over 44,000 marriage licenses issued in the years when Mississippi had no three-day waiting period for licenses. The courtroom on the second floor is much the same as it was when John M. Stone, a resident of Iuka and Mississippi’s longest serving Governor, supervised its construction and when the county’s first legal hanging happened here years ago. The courthouse was built in 1870 and is on the National Register of Historic Places; it is a Mississippi Historical Landmark. Strategically situated in Iuka only a few miles from the AL and TN borders on Hwy 72 between Huntsville and Memphis and minutes away from the Tennessee River and Natchez Trace, it is poised to be a tourist gateway and welcome center into Northeast MS.

We arrived on Labor Day and the park was practically empty. We stayed in #49 with our motorhome and it was perfect. Quiet, clean. We swam in Pickwick lake and had a great relaxing evening. The woman checking us in was helpful and friendly.

The only reason to go to Mount Woodall, highest point in Mississippi at just over a whopping 800 feet above sea level, is to say you did it. And if you know beforehand that it is otherwise a big nothing, then you'll enjoy it as much as I did. The road up is a rough ride, but once you get to the top, take a few pictures with the plaque and survey marker and then move on to something more exciting, because there's nothing to see there. Ten minutes is more than enough.
