Batesville
Also known as: Batesville, MS, Batesville, Mississippi
A small Mississippi Delta city (~7,500) in Panola County, north Mississippi, ~50 miles south of Memphis. Cotton-economy heritage; today best known internationally as the home of Magnolia Grove Monastery — the southern U.S. monastic practice center in the Plum Village (Thich Nhat Hanh) tradition, on a 120-acre campus with a resident community of 30+ monastics.
What this is
Batesville is a small north-Mississippi Delta city in Panola County, an hour south of Memphis. The cotton-economy history shaped the town through the 19th and 20th centuries; the contemporary identity has reshaped substantially around Magnolia Grove Monastery’s 120-acre Plum Village–tradition campus founded by Thich Nhat Hanh in 2005 — one of the few residential monastic centers in the American South and one of the most consequential Plum Village outposts in North America.
