The Mississippi Gulf Coast Council of Garden Clubs proudly presents its 44th annual Pilgrimage of homes and gardens. It is our hope that you will enjoy the hospitality that is extended to you by the owners of these beautiful homes and gardens. The tours are complimentary. Please follow the arrow markers which will be used in all communities. In some communities specific times are listed for viewing the houses and guests are requested to observe these times.
The Gulf Coast Council of Garden Clubs and homeowners are not responsible for any accidents occurring during these hours.
JOHN C. STENNIS SPACE CENTER Monday, April 1-9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Stennis Space Center offers a glimpse of the area’s rich history and takes us forward to envision tantalizing ideas and vistas of a not too distant future as offered by science and technology. Visitors can view exhibits representing the work of the Space Center with its resident agencies, live demonstrations, movies and a panoramic view from the 90-foot Space Tower. Every 45 minutes guided bus tours will take visitors to the Space Shuttle Test Complex. Cafeteria facilities are available and cameras are allowed. Bay-Waveland Garden Club members will be hostesses in the morning and Diamondhead Garden Club members in the afternoon.
HANCOCK COUNTY WELCOME CENTER Monday, April 1-9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This copy of an antebellum home, opened in 1979 at the junction of 1-10 and State Highway 607, has been rightfully called “the most beautiful Hospitality Center in the U.S.A.” Interior appointments and paintings, as well as the handsome staircase, carry through the “antebellum” theme. Bay-Waveland Garden Club members will be hostesses in the morning and Diamondhead Garden Club members in the afternoon.
BEAUVOIR Pilgrimage Chairman: Mrs. Harry O. Evers Tuesday, April 2-1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Located in Biloxi on West Beach Blvd. at Beauvoir Rd., Beauvoir is the last home of the only President of the Confederacy. Built c. 1852-54, it houses Davis family heirlooms, a Confederate Museum and the Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier. The Beach Garden Society established an arboretum on the grounds with identified and labeled plant species, now supported also by the Gulf Coast Council of Garden Clubs. Members of Beach Garden Society will serve as hostesses.
