Laurel

Laurel occupies a low, pine-forested setting along Tallahala Creek in southeastern Mississippi. The city developed around the pine-lumber industry, and its historic districts retain early-20th-century commercial and residential architecture shaped by that era. Founded in 1923, the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art is Mississippi’s oldest art museum, with collections spanning American and European art as well as Japanese woodblock prints. Laurel gained wider recognition through the television series Home Town, whose renovation projects focus on established neighborhoods and downtown buildings.
