We guarantee it - Laurel is one of the most beautiful towns you’ve ever seen. The Central Historic District, listed on the national register of Historic Places, is the state’s largest, finest and most intact ensemble of the early 20th century architectural styles including classical and colonial revivals, Queen Anne, bungalow and craftsman. Surrounding the hundreds of homes and buildings is incredible landscaping that was part of America’s master architect Fredrick Law Olmstead’s 1909 city plan.

 

Add to this the internationally recognized Lauren Rogers Museum of Art, Mississippi’s oldest art museum filled with spectacular collections; the dynamic 145-acre Sportsplex; a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities and a year-round schedule of festivals and special events, and you just begin to get the picture. Laurel is a unique combination of comfortable living and the ideal amount of Southern charm and sophistication.

 

You’re invited to take it all in.
