21 Small Towns You Should Visit on Your Next American Road Trip

This Southern gem is fabulous for history/archaeology buffs. During the Middle Woodland period, which was 100 BC to 400 AD, inhabitants of the area around New Albany, MS, constructed mounds using simple tools and baskets. Extensively documented by the Smithsonian Institute in the 1800s, the Ingomar Mounds is a ceremonial and burial complex and a definite must-see. And if you like biking, the mounds are just a short trip from the 44-mile Tanglefoot Trail, the longest bike trail in the state.
