There is no time like the present to start your Christmas shopping and there is no better place to get those stocking stuffers than the Marshall County Historical Museum. We have several new toys that are just perfect for your child’s stocking. If you are looking for those inexpensive items to round out Christmas morning, then come see us. We have a wonderful variety of wooden puzzles, Civil War fighting figures, flying dinosaurs, telescopes for those little pirates, marshals’ badges, yo-yos, and bags of marbles with the big shooter marbles and much more. All of these are available for $2 or less and make perfect gifts for those Christmas gifts for schools and parties.

If you are looking for a perfect gift for someone who is a little older, then you must see our variety of vintage items or our collection of Mississippi brand souvenirs like letter openers, book markers, flags, locally made scented soaps along with note cards showing the wonderful houses and country scenes in and around Holly Springs.

These are perfect for sending out of town to that person who needs a special gift. In addition you can send them one of our books on Holly Springs or Mississippi. We have wonderful books depicting the history and provenance of our town; diaries of Holly Springs’ residents and soldiers. We even have DVDs for that Civil War history buff. There are books here on the history of the architecture of Holly Springs and also the history of how our town came to be. These make wonderful coffee table books and give the reader hours of enjoyment. So if you are looking for that special gift that you can be proud of giving, come and see us; we have something for everyone.
