Field notes
Why it belongs
Working pharmacy, old-fashioned soda fountain, lunch counter, historic drug-store interior, Native American artifacts and Civil War memorabilia.
The pharmacy and lunch counter still perform their ordinary jobs inside a room whose preserved fixtures and artifact displays make a routine stop feel like a small museum.
Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain has operated in Corinth since 1865. Current first-party and Mississippi tourism sources confirm a working pharmacy and lunch-counter soda fountain serving burgers, sandwiches, milkshakes and fountain drinks. The historic cabinetry, Native American artifacts and Civil War memorabilia make the room part restaurant, part drug store and part informal local-history display. Visit Mississippi describes Borroum’s as the state’s oldest operating drug store and soda fountain.
