A cross-reference list of all seven State Historic Sites is provided further below, which uses different names for some sites. The NHLs are concentrated in 17 of Mississippi's 82 counties. Thirteen are in Adams County alone.

Former NHLs in Mississippi

There have been no de-designations of Mississippi NHLs,^[4] but one NHL object has been moved out of the state and was subsequently delisted:

In 2009 she was disassembled and transported overland to St. Elmo, Illinois. This loss of historical integrity prompted the National Park Service to withdraw her landmark designation.

National Park Service areas in Mississippi

National Historic Parks, National Battlefields, and certain other areas listed in the National Park system are historic landmarks of national importance that are highly protected already, often before the inauguration of the NHL program in 1960, and are then often not also named NHLs per se. There are five of these in Mississippi. The National Park Service lists these five together with the NHLs in the state.^[7] They are:

	Landmark name	Description
1	Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site
2	Natchez National Historical Park
3	Shiloh National Military Park	(shared with Tennessee)
4	Tupelo National Battlefield
5	Vicksburg National Military Park	Includes Vicksburg National Cemetery; shared with Louisiana.
