Meridian, MS

united states

Meridian sits where Interstates 20 and 59 cross in east-central Mississippi, making it a convenient stop between Jackson and Birmingham. The city serves as Lauderdale County's seat in the state's rolling hills, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Key Field Regional Airport lies 10 miles northeast via Highway 145. The Meridian Museum of Art occupies a beautifully restored 1912 Carnegie Library building downtown.
