Museum buffs will also enjoy the Bank of Chickasaw National Museum. Wildlife enthusiasts enjoy nearby 16,000-acre Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge with its documented 250 species of birds as well as beaver, raccoon and white-tailed deer. In addition, the Tishomingo National Fish Hatchery is one of the world's largest warm-water hatcheries. The population estimate for July 1, 1998 was 3,033, a decrease of 83 since 1990.
