1.BILOXI LIGHTHOUSE, Highway 90 at Porter Avenue.
Erected in 1848, the Biloxi Lighthouse is reportedly the first cast metal lighthouse in the South. The light was civilian operated from 1848 to 1939, and is notable for its several female light keepers, including, Maria Younghans, who tended the light for 53 years. In 1939, the U.S. Coast Guard
assumed responsibility for the light's operation. After being declared surplus property in 1968, the Biloxi Lighthouse was deeded to the City of Biloxi. Hostesses: City Staff
2.	GEORGE E. OHR ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTER,
136 G.E. Ohr Street. A potter in Biloxi in the late 19th century, George E. Ohr described himself as "Unequaled, Unrivaled, Undisputed. The Greatest Potter on Earth."
Many agree. On display at the Ohr Center is the largest permanent public exhibition of Ohr's work in the United States. The Ohr Center also houses three additional galleries with rotating exhibits from locally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists. Hostesses: Museum Staff
3.	THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER AND HURRICANE CAMILLE MEMORIAL. The first Protestant church in Biloxi, built in its original location on Howard Avenue in 1849, it was moved to its present site in 1891.
This church was deconsecrated and used as a parish center when a new church closer to the beach was built. In 1969, this second church, except for the bell tower, was destroyed by Hurricane Camille. The outline of the second church is noted by the ring of liriope incorporating the Hurricane Camille Memorial dedicated August 17, 2001. Also of interest are the Secretary Oak, the Ring in the Oak, and the special Pilgrimage Memorial dedicated in 1997 on the occasion of our 50th Pilgrimage Anniversary.
