Start your day with a historic walking tour of Downtown Hattiesburg, filled with unique shops and art galleries. You can check out the Hattiesburg Area Historical Society Museum to learn about the city's past. Make sure to grab lunch at The Depot Kitchen & Market, known for its fresh ingredients and southern cuisine.
Begin your day with a stroll around the beautiful, sprawling 300-acre campus of The University of Southern Mississippi. The Ogletree House and The All-American Rose Garden are the highlights of this campus. Then, head out to the Longleaf Trace, a 41-mile trail lined by pine forests for biking, hiking, or jogging. If you are a fan of craft beer, stop by the Southern Prohibition Brewery to enjoy a beer.
Hattiesburg is easy to navigate by car, but walk or bike around the downtown area. Bus service and taxi services such as Uber and Lyft are available throughout the city. Estimated travel time between attraction spots is minimal, so travel concerns should not be of great concern.
If you have more time, you can catch a live show at the Saenger Theater or visit the African American Military History Museum. The Hattiesburg Zoo is also a kid-friendly destination. If you have less time, skip the brewery tour.
