Corinth at the Crossroads of Two Civil War Railroads
Corinth's location at the junction of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and the Mobile and Ohio Railroad made it a strategic prize during the Civil War. The Battle of Corinth in October 1862 was a Union victory that secured federal control of the railroad junction. The Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center, operated by the National Park Service, documents the military campaigns that centered on the town.
The Corinth Contraband Camp, established during the Union occupation, provided shelter to thousands of formerly enslaved people who fled to Union lines. The camp is one of the earliest documented examples of a freedmen's settlement during the war. A memorial and interpretive site mark the location.
Modern Corinth serves as the seat of Alcorn County and the commercial center for the surrounding area. The Crossroads Museum downtown preserves local history. Pickwick Landing State Park and the Tennessee River lie a short drive to the north across the state line, drawing anglers and boaters.
The Corinth Coca-Cola Museum, housed in a restored 1916 building, celebrates the local history of the soft drink brand. The city's Crossroads Film Festival screens independent films. Shiloh National Military Park, site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, lies about 20 miles to the north across the Tennessee border and draws visitors who often stop in Corinth as well.
