| The great river state has a vibrant arts scene with opera, theater and music celebrated in its many festivals and at Tupelo, home to Elvis’ legacy. For a slice of American history you can take time off from classes at one of the state’s many great universities and technical institutes to visit an Indian fair or the historic Jefferson College. With its long summers and mild winters, anytime is good for a walk on the wild side with a school trip to the Hot Air Balloon Fest, camping at a waterway camping site or teeing off at affordable public courses. |
