Canton

The rolling, wooded terrain of central Mississippi defines the setting of Canton — this small county seat is arranged around a traditional courthouse square, with roads leading into Madison County’s rural communities. Canton is the administrative center of Madison County and retains a compact historic downtown focused on the Madison County Courthouse. Each spring and fall, the Canton Flea Market brings dealers and shoppers to the square, continuing one of the town’s best-known traditions. Film crews have also used Canton’s period streetscapes, including for the 1996 adaptation of John Grisham’s A Time to Kill.
