Redwood, MS

Sitting about 10 miles north of Vicksburg near the intersection of Highway 61 and Highway 3, Redwood is a quiet, rural community nestled along the bluffs above the Yazoo River. The area has deep historical roots, dating back to 1719 when French colonists established Fort St. Pierre along the riverbank. Over the centuries, it evolved from an early trading post for river raftsmen into the peaceful country crossroads it is today.

With fewer than one hundred residents, Redwood offers a slow, scenic pace of life with plenty of trees and open space. People living here enjoy the privacy of the countryside while keeping an easy 15-minute drive into Vicksburg for jobs, groceries, and dining. It is a solid option for anyone looking for peaceful rural surroundings while staying close to city conveniences.
