Travel back in time and feast like knights of the round table during a family meal at the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. This unique dinner theater is housed in a replica of an 11th century Spanish castle, and during your family feast, you'll see knights in shining armor dueling in sword fights, jousting, and other medieval games. A dinner at this one-of-a-kind attraction won't soon be forgotten.

Check out one of nature's odd attractions at Panola Mountain State Park. The park was created in an effort to preserve a 100-acre granite monadnock, or mountain. In all, this state park occupies 1,635 acres and is home to a visitor center, a playground, two fishing lakes, an archery range, and plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking in the great outdoors.

If you're an aspiring politician, or maybe just a fan of our 39th President, check out the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum.
