The Cobb House Restoration Celebration was a tremendous success! Our talented opening committee worked tirelessly to ensure a perfect event. Thank you to all the volunteers, florists, nurseries, businesses, docents, bakers, and gardeners who worked together to make the Celebration one of the proudest days for SCHF. It would not have been possible without you! And we are especially grateful to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, the City of Vicksburg, and the Warren County Board of Supervisors for continuing to place historic preservation as a top priority. If you have not had a chance to visit the Cobb House, we certainly encourage you to do so. It is an exquisite example of what can happen when state, city, and county governments, private businesses, organizations, and individuals come together to accomplish a common goal for the good of the entire community. This fall the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation participated in Vicksburg's Fall Pilgrimage. We would like to thank the wonderful pilgrimage volunteer tour guides: Maggie Griffing, Amy Horne, Mary Nell McMaster, Pam Melsheimer, and David Ogle. And a special thanks to Francis Koury and the Four Seasons of the Arts for organizing the pilgrimage candlelight concert. With the help of our volunteers, the SCHF was able to open its doors to many visitors from around the country last month. Thank you to all of the volunteers!. As always, if you have suggestions for workshops, programs, or events, please feel free to share them with the SCHF office. We love to hear from you! |
