About Houston

Houston, Mississippi, is a welcoming small town in Chickasaw County that offers a relaxed pace with plenty of local character. Its historic downtown is home to the state's very first Carnegie library, and outdoor enthusiasts love having direct access to the southern end of the paved Tanglefoot Trail for walking and cycling. Long-running events like the twice-yearly Flywheel Festival bring neighbors together, while quick connections to Highway 15 and the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway make trips across north Mississippi easy. It is a quiet, friendly community with a strong sense of heritage.
