The invention of railroads forever changed the United States. The impact of these changes is most apparent in Corinth, known as the “Crossroads of the South.” To learn about the impact railroads had on the development of the city, the Crossroads Museum goes into detail on how railroads transformed Corinth into the destination that it is. From the city’s role in the Civil War to the famous people born here, this museum lays the groundwork for you to learn. You can also find out about foods that have people coming back for more and how railroads functioned when they were the backbone of America’s transportation. Laying the Foundation and Groundwork To understand the elements that forged Corinth, you need to have a good sense of the area’s geography. To lay that foundation, the first exhibit of the museum explains the geology, geography, and general prehistory of the area so that you can better understand how Corinth’s natural landmarks ultimately shaped the city’s future. Included in this are also artifacts from some of the first people to settle on the land: the Chickasaw Tribe. Living the Railroad Life Founded around the junction of two major rail lines, Mobile & Ohio
