Heart's Content Bed and Breakfast visitors guide to Canton Mississippi

Christine’s Back Porch Restaurant in Canton, MS

August 13th, 2009

Christine’s Back Porch restaurant is exactly that. It gives you the southern feel of being at home and enjoying traditional soul food cooking. The restaurant is located in an antebellum style home that was built in 1838. The restaurant itself has been open for seven years. Besides the cozy decor, customers can enjoy the soft blues, jazz, gospel or classical music in the background. Christine’s also caters various events. Don’t forget to try her signature fried chicken.

Her hours are: Mon.-Fri. 11 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. and maybe Sun. 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

We love her food!

I went searching for a Bed and Breakfast in Madison MS

July 24th, 2009

What I found when searching for bed and breakfast in Madison, MS was another mention of the Gluckstadt Inn, which I believe to be closed. From Madison, you are a 15 minute drive North on I-55 or Hwy 51 to Canton and Heart’s Content Bed and Breakfast. Madison has a lot of great restaurants and shopping. We would be happy to make recommendations to our guests. We like to shop locally in Canton MS as much as possible, but a small town needs help from a big town from time to time.

It appears there used to be a bnb in gluckstadt called the Gluckstadt Inn. I googled it and their website is no longer available, so I think they are closed. If you are looking for a bnb, Heart’s Content is about 10 minutes North on Hwy 51 from Gluckstadt.
