Mound City blends river heritage with quiet, small-town living at the southern tip of the state, where the Ohio and Mississippi shape both scenery and story. History is tangible here: the solemn, beautifully kept Mound City National Cemetery honors thousands of Civil War soldiers and veterans, offering a moving place for reflection and a window into the area’s pivotal role during the war. Outdoor lovers find year-round adventure nearby at Shawnee National Forest, with miles of trails, sandstone bluffs, and peaceful overlooks, while the wetlands of Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge teem with migratory birds and rare plants. For paddling, fishing, and unforgettable boardwalk strolls through ancient tupelo and cypress stands, the Cache River State Natural Area is an easy drive.
