Once home to thousands of Choctaw Indians, the tribe ceded its land to the United States in 1830. Today, many Choctaw Indians still live in the area.

One of Philadelphia's largest events of the year is the Choctaw Indian Fair. Held annually in July, the four-day event features exciting entertainment, a variety of cultural programs, and locally made art.

Philadelphia's downtown square offers visitors all the comfort of old time charm, with the benefits of coffee shops, eclectic eateries, and a variety of shopping opportunities. Philadelphia's Historic District represents the growth and prosperity that descended upon the region during the early 1900s. A driving tour of the area makes for a lovely excursion. April brings the ever-popular Ham Jam Arts Festival to downtown. This sure bet family oriented event features outstanding live music, dynamic local art, and a variety of games, food and fun.

Those who feel lucky should make a stop at Philadelphia's Pearl River Resort. This ultimate Mississippi casino and resort make for an exciting destination. Visitors seeking adventure should visit Geyser Falls, a 15-acre water theme park. The park's wave pools, lazy river, and waterslides are sure bets for the entire family.
