Hernando is located in DeSoto County

Quaint in it's Southern charm, yet progressive in its economic development efforts, Hernando also serves as DeSoto's county seat. An enduring testimony to that fact is Hernando's historic courthouse. Built in 1940, this impressive structure features spectacular wall murals depicting the town's growing prosperity, as well as the exploits of the county's namesake, the European explorer Hernando DeSoto who traveled the area in 1542.

A must-see attraction for outdoor enthusiasts is Arkabutla Lake, which draws visitors and local residents from April through October. As the windiest body of water south of Chicago, the lake is a natural for sailing. Fishermen rate it as one of the top five crappie locations in the U.S. In addition to swimming and water or jet skiing on the lake, Arkabutla State Park offers full camping facilities as well as nature trails, making it a favorite spot for rest and relaxation. For added fun, Arkabutla Reservoir is the site of the county's annual sailboat regatta — a truly exciting event. A warm welcome awaits guests at the Bed & Breakfasts located in the Hernando area. Country charm is what you will find as a visitor to the antique museum and shop. You will experience the past as you walk through log cabins furnished with antiques. If antique shopping is what you enjoy, Hernando offers a variety of unique experiences.

The changing seasons also provide opportunities for a warm Hernando welcome. The Hernando A'Fair held around the Courthouse Square the third weekend in May is a popular one, featuring arts and crafts, concessions, a tour of homes and bluegrass music.
