Located on the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway in the hills of northeastern Mississippi, Fulton is perhaps best known for its proximity to Tupelo, the birthplace of Elvis Presley. Fulton offers a quiet, small-town atmosphere without Tupelo's tourist hustle and bustle. Visitors can shop at the Barnes Crossing Mall or explore the waterway by canoe, kayak or boat. History buffs may walk the grounds of the Brice's Crossroads National Battle Field or visit Tupelo's automobile museum. There are several lodging options available in Fulton for travelers.
