There's a particular quiet you only find where a town used to be. Uniontown has it. Uniontown is a ghost town in Jefferson County, Mississippi, United States.
The story of Uniontown
Mississippi's ghost towns are river ports and cotton towns, plus lumber camps that clear-cut the pine hills.
Uniontown is a ghost town in Jefferson County, Mississippi, United States. Established along the Natchez Trace (also called the "Old Natchez Road") in the late 18th century, the settlement is now extinct, though "the main street is still visible running parallel to the trace".
What you'll find today
The on-the-ground condition of Uniontown is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.
Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.
Getting there
Here's the honest truth: access to Uniontown is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.
Good to know
Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
