Welcome! We are proud to host the 40th Harrison Family Reunion in the beautiful city of Columbus MS. Columbus' motto is the "Friendly City". It's known for its rich heritage and Southern charm.

The city was founded in 1821. It's the place where flowers healed a nation during the Civil War, and home to Columbus Air Force Base, the largest Air Force pilot training base in the nation. It was also the inspiration for Pulitzer Prize winners Eudora Welty and Tennessee Williams. Columbus is home to Mississippi University for Women, America's first state-funded public university for women. In 2010, Columbus won a Great American Main Street Award from the National Trust by Historic Preservation. Jasmine Murray, a Columbus native, represented the state of Mississippi in the Miss America pageant in 2014. She was one of the top 10 finalists.
