New Albany, MS

united states

New Albany is a small county seat in north Mississippi's hill country, about 15 miles from Tupelo via Highway 15. The town sits at the junction of several state routes, with Highway 30 running east-west and Highway 15 providing the main north-south connection to Tupelo and beyond to Memphis. Most traffic is local commuting, though the town draws visitors as William Faulkner's birthplace, with his childhood home still standing on Cleveland Street.
