William Faulkner, the Nobel Prize-winning author, was born in New Albany, Mississippi, in Union County. Before gaining international fame, Faulkner’s early years were shaped by the community and its surroundings, which continue to influence local culture.
Today, visitors can see a mural on the side of Muddy Mallard that commemorates Faulkner’s legacy. The mural offers a visual tribute to the literary icon and his roots in Mississippi.
