Archive Library

The Archive Library, located inside City Hall, is a space dedicated to documenting the past, celebrating the city’s growth, and also preserving our history for the future.

We invite you to take the journey through time to see where Original Southaven began! 


We have photos of landmark businesses and old signage, historic maps, equipment used by personnel and much more! There is also a video slideshow featuring many members of the community who led the efforts to make our city what it is today.


Visitors can explore memorabilia from days of yesterday.  Our goal is to foster pride in our city, allowing citizens to visualize the ongoing story of a community where the only constant is change.
