Seminary
is tiny town located in Covington County in south-central Mississippi. As of the 2010 census, the population was 314 residents. It's a popular spot for canoeing and kayaking due to the Okatoma Creek which runs through the town. Okatoma Creek is part of the Pascagoula River watershed. There are only a few businesses in Seminary; two banks, a pharmacy, a hardware store, barber shop, an art studio, one restaurant and a couple other stores. The rural area is growing, however, and Seminary is only about 20 minutes north of the city of Hattiesburg. Several new businesses have sprung up along Highway 49, which passes west of the town of Seminary. Although small, the town continues with an upward economic development with new homes and a new water project system. Lake Mike Connor is just outside of Seminary and offers fishing, boating, and picnicking. It's reached by taking U.S. Route 49 to MS State Route 589 toward Sumrall to Lake Mike Connor Road. Nearby Hattisburg offers an abundance of cultural opportunities and attractions. The historic downtown area features the Saenger Theater and the Historic Train Depot, along with art galleries, unique shops, museums and restaurants. In 2011, the 25-block Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District was named one of the "Great Places in America".
