Covington Chamber Mississippi

Covington Countians take great pride in their homes, whether circa-1890s or contemporary, and have a natural tendency - handed down from grandmother’s time - to uphold the open door policy.

The southern front porch, where the indoors meets the outdoors, seems to extend a welcome to family and friends to come sit and watch the world go by. Of course, the veranda can also be a place of peace and solitude, where you can idle quietly with thoughts or a good book. At any rate, "porching," or the practice of sitting on the porch in evenings and socializing, doesn’t get any better than here in Covington County.

Visitors or new-comers will quickly appreciate the beautiful lawns and gardens in the area. Local garden club members are delighted to share the art and craft of gardening, even opening their garden gates for tours, at times.
