I live in Starkville where Mississippi State University is and so I thought it’d be appropriate to start my first Home Town Hop link-up with some things about my University!  I absolutely LOVE our campus and I think it’s beautiful!  Unfortunately, the pictures I have to share don’t do it justice, but there are some really neat things I want to share with you!

Mississippi State was the first University to have a Barnes and Noble on it’s Campus.  It was the “test” Market for a Barnes and Noble on future campuses and it obviously went well!
Attached to our Barnes and Noble is the Cullis Wade Depot.  It was closed when I went by to take a picture, which was unfortunate, because I could have shown y’all something amazing!  The Cullis Wade Depot is home to 1,000 something clocks that Mr. Wade collected.  They vary from regular clocks to grandfather clocks.  If you ever have the chance to come to Mississippi State, you should definitely check out the Cullis Wade Depot Clock Museum.
  

Just some pictures of the campus.  I really think we have a beautiful campus!  This area is called the Junction where everyone tailgates for football games.  Which, being in the SEC, makes that a big deal!

We have one of the largest jumbo-trons in the world.  It was 2nd largest at one point, I believe, but it’s gone down in ranking as of late.  It completely covers the other side of where you see Mississippi State.  This is also part of the Junction and our little Bully man (the bulldog!).

Love some tailgating and friends!  Do y’all see my Mississippi Necklace?? I love it!
You see that tree?  Well there’s something super special about that tree in the Junction
The seed of this tree went to the moon aboard the Apollo XIV in 1971.  It was then brought to MSU and planted in our Junction.
There are many, many more things I’d love to share with you about my beautiful campus, but here are some of our treasures! I’m looking forward to sharing more exciting things throughout the months.

    So neat! How cool you guys got the first campus B&N! I worked at a B&N through college, and I remember how awesome it was when stores started popping up on campuses!

    Starkville has a special place in my heart! I love my bulldogs and anything associated with the Greatest University in the SEC! Hail State. Seeing all the pictures is making me homesick for a Starkville weekend. 🙂

    What a great idea for a link up! I’ll have to see if I can find some pictures to participate next month. I love how colleges have so many great traditions. Thanks for sharing!

    I always associate Mississippi with the movie The Blind Side and on how I learned to spell it in school – M-I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I, humpback, humpback I ! I will be linking up with this posting soon 🙂
