Canton's beginning started in 1836 and is the site of many films. To name a few "A time To Kill", "O Brother Where Art Thou", "My Dog Named Skip", and "Ponder" have movie sets that we explored with Charlotte our guide from the Canton Convention & Visitors Bureau. She gave us much insight into behind scenes drama and other happenings particular to scenes in movies filmed here. Canton is named the movie capital of Mississippi and a side note is that "Mississippi Burning" movie had a scene in Canton. Canton has around 150 entries into the National Register of Historic Places. The old courthouse had its cornerstone laid in 1855 by local masonic order and it was spared destruction by General Sherman because he was a Mason himself. A very friendly city and fun to visit.
