Have you heard of award winning actress Sela Ward or the father of country music
Jimmie Rodgers? And let's not forget Hartley Peavey, the founder of Peavey
Electronics. All of these and many more famous individuals have called Meridian
and Lauderdale County "home." In 1864, General Sherman and
his troops destroyed the railroad
tracks and burned tons of freight, leaving the General to
declare in a memo to Union Headquarters, "Meridian no longer
exists!" Well, he was wrong. Take a peek inside and see what the
Meridian-Lauderdale County Public Library has to offer.
