Thank you for your interest in beautiful Historic Hernando, Mississippi, located in the heart of DeSoto County.

On behalf of the City of Hernando and the Board of Directors and membership of the Hernando Main Street/Chamber of Commerce, I would like to introduce you to one of the most charming towns in the Mid-South area.

Situated just 20 minutes south of Memphis, Tennessee, Hernando is a growing community comprised of young families and retirees alike, who long for an above-average quality of life. While the city is growing at a healthy rate, Hernando is a community that prides itself in smart growth, where quality is more important than quantity.

Filled with dozens of antique and gift shops, professional services, retail businesses and restaurants, Hernando provides all the conveniences without compromising the lifestyles that many people have grown to miss and respect.

From our award-winning schools and highly acclaimed parks and recreational programs to our churches, civic clubs and even our new DeSoto Historic Museum, Hernando is a town that knows what’s important for people who care about their community.

We hope you will find this information useful. And, we do look forward to seeing you very soon in Historic Hernando.

Sincerely,

Brian K. Goff, Executive Director
Hernando Main Street/Chamber of Commerce
