About
Hattiesburg is best known as the home of the University of Southern Mississippi, William Carey University and Camp Shelby, the largest National Guard training base east of the Mississippi River. It has one of the biggest historic districts in the region, with the art-centric downtown lined with many well-preserved buildings. It's also home to coffee shops, bakeries and bistros, while Colludium Brewing Company offers brewery tours. The 41-mile Longleaf Trace Trail is popular for hiking and biking, as it meanders all the way to Prentiss. Paralleling the main trail is a 26-mile equestrian path.
