Roy Baxter, Jr. opened his Pearl River Marina just two weeks before the NASA announcement in October, 1961. Mr. Baxter's marina was located in the old Weston Lumber Company commissary building constructed in 1914. This very large, beautiful old brick building had the company offices on the second floor.
The Marina continued operating until the building was demolished in early 1964. Mr. Baxter moved to Pearlington and opened his Marina there on May 1, 1964.
All that remains of Logtown today is the beautiful old cemetery with its stately pines and massive live oaks that are more than 3 00 years old. Roy Baxter Jr. placed four cemetery oaks on the National Register.. Named after prominent families in the history of Logtown, they are the Gladys Baxter, Otis, Carre' and Weston oaks.
Leaving Logtown was very difficult for families who had lived in their lovely old homes for four and five generations. All of us treasured the peace and tranquility, the association of close friends and the rich heritage that was ours in the small town. To us Logtown exists today in recounted stories and written history memories of wonderful bygone days.
