LONG BEACH
Tuesday, March 28, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Mrs. Donald E. Wilson, Pilgrimage Chairman Mrs. Louis Crawford, Pilgrimage Co-Chairman
1.	LONG BEACH GARDEN CENTER, 201 E. Fifth. (Comer of South Burke and Fifth). Organized in July 1930. The club is now in its 65th year, and the 42nd in this building, one of the few individually-owned garden club houses in Mississippi. Maps are available and tea will be served.
2.	HOME OF MR. & MRS. W. NEAL BOGAN, 126 W. Fourth Street. This home was built in 1915. The windows and doors were “mail order catalogue” shipped from Davenport, Iowa by Montgomery-Ward. The Bogans have enclosed the back porch and converted it and the kitchen into a large family room with a skylighted breakfast area. A breakfront was built into the kitchen with the doors and drawers from the Butler’s pantry! Antique quilts and hand crocheted spreads compliment the antique furnishings. Mrs. Bogan’s collection of old china and glassware is displayed throughout their home. A deck outside the back door overlooks the pool and the garden.
3.	HOME OF DR. & MRS. JAMES O. WILLIAMS, 730 E. Beach Blvd. This home on the western edge of USM Gulf Coast Campus was built around the turn of the century. Formerly occupied by the Presidents of the Gulf Park College, it became the residence of the Dean of USM Gulf Coast when the University of Southern Mississippi obtained the campus in 1972. In the Spring of 1993 a complete restoration program was undertaken to re-express many of the fine features that were part of the original home. It represents one of several architectural styles which is truly indigenous to the Coast. Wide porches, high ceilings, above ground pier construction, placement under the oak canopy and orientation to the sea, along with eclectic interior decor, make this home a statement of elegant charm, grace and easy style. Furnishings are a mixture of old family pieces, crochet work by two great-aunts, and old family quilts.
4.	HERITAGE ROOM, HARDY HALL, Campus of USM Gulf Coast. This room contains the memorabilia from the 50 years (1921 - 1971) that Gulf Park College for Women occupied the School. This exclusive boarding school for young ladies was founded by Colonel James Chappel Hardy and Dr. Richard C. Cox, who became the first President, on the area known as “The Chimneys” or the “Old McCaughan Place”.
5.	IN THE PARLOR, HARDY HALL Ocean Wave Quilters will be displaying old quilts, wall hangings, table runners, pillows, quillos, seminole skirts, vests, baby and children’s quilts, quilters carry-alls, etc. A popular feature of the Pilgrimage, the quilters participate for the FIFTH consecutive year. The Parlor features a portrait over the fireplace of Dr. and Mrs. Cox.
6.	THE FRIENDSHIP OAK is estimated at over 500 years old. Wooden platforms are within the branches. Measurements are 5 ‘4” (diameter) trunk, 66’ limbs and 150’ lateral roots. Legend has it
"I am called Friendship Oak. Those who enter my shadow will remain friends through all their lifetime, no matter where fate may take them in after years. ’’
