ABOUT CARROLL COUNTY DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION

CCDA’s Tourism Committee provides guidance and support for the following existing tourism sites: Towns of Carrollton, North Carrollton, and Vaiden, Cotesworth Center, and the Mississippi John Hurt sites.

DESTINATION WEBSITES:

MississippiJohnHurtFoundation.org

DESTINATION BACKGROUND & STATE OF ECONOMY

CCDA is geographically located in the central section of Mississippi. It is bisected by MS Highways 82, 17, 35. Its population is approximately 10,000. Carroll County has two county seats: District 1 - Carrollton [formed in 1834 has a current population of 216 people] and District 2 – Vaiden [formed in 1860 has a current population of 754 people]. The other incorporated town is North Carrollton [formed in 1899 has a current population of 407].

The COVID-19 pandemic created significant disruption to businesses in the hospitality sector including restaurants, and small businesses. Additionally, our tourist attractions experienced sharp declines in revenue and visitation.

TARGET AUDIENCE DETAILS

Because of the location of Carroll County and the trend in tourism for shorter driving times, our target markets include areas within a single day’s drive. These include but are not limited to Memphis, Tennessee; Birmingham, AL; New Orleans, LA; Little Rock, AR; and the states of Kentucky, Texas, and the rest of Mississippi. Secondary markets include Georgia, and North Carolina. These markets have been chosen not only because of their physical location but also because many of the early Carroll County settlers came from Georgia and North Carolina. In later years, descendants of those settlers migrated west and eventually ended in Texas.

Carroll County is a rural county. Agriculture remains a major source of income. However, until Carroll County gains more recognition as a tourism destination, farmers are not interested in investing in agritourism. On the other hand, Carroll County [especially the Carrollton-North Carrollton area] has many historic sites that tourist are interested in visiting. Carrollton has been described as the quintessential 19th century town. Sixty-seven sites in the town are in the National Register of History Places historic district. The annual Carrollton Pilgrimage showcases some of these sites each year. Just north of Carrollton sits the home the US Senator J. Z. George.

Before the Senator purchased the property, it was a stagecoach inn on the Memphis/Holly Springs/Carrollton/Vicksburg or Jackson route. The property remained in the family until 2010 when the house, library, a few other buildings and five acres were sold to the Cotesworth Center Foundation. Today, visitors come from all over the US to visit the home and learn about Mississippi history. Because of the appearance of Carrollton and Cotesworth, they have been used as movie locations for movies such as The Reivers starring Steve McQueen and The Help starring Viola Davis and Emma Stone. Vaiden was used for scenes in Ode to Billy Joe and Mississippi Burning. This is another reason tourists come to Carroll County.

Carroll County is also part of three Mississippi trails. Music enthusiasts flock to Carroll County to see where Mississippi John Hurt lived, played and was buried. The three sites associated with this early bluesman are marked with Blues trail markers and are visited by followers from all over the world. Other Carroll County musicians such as Mack Allen Smith, the King of Rockabilly, have also left their mark on the music world and are on the Country Music Trail. Carrollton is also on Mississippi’s Writer’s Trail, honoring Carrollton native Elizabeth Spencer.

Carroll County, with its historic architecture, music, and literature, draws enthusiasts and leisure travelers who find memories of days gone by in Carroll County.
