The building was used as the church’s educational building until 1964, then rented to Head Start and the High School Drama Department. It was restored and converted into a Fellowship Hall in 1988 and 1989.

Displays will include old quilts, modern quilts, wall hangings, table runners, pillows, quillos, seminole skirts, vests, baby and children quilts, quilters carry-all and much more.

3.	MEMORIAL ROSE GARDEN. Long Beach City Hall, 201 Jeff Davis. In March 1931, the Long Beach Garden Club members decided to enter a municipal Rose Garden contest, sponsored by the Woman’s Home Companion, with Mrs. Charles McDaris, Club President, acting as General Chairman. The town officials dedicated a plot of ground adjoining the Town Hall to the Garden Club for a Rose Garden, which the club planted with 650 Hybrid Tea Roses. Concrete walk-ways were laid with funds secured from the W.P.A. This garden was dedicated as a Memorial Garden when a sun-dial was presented by Mrs. Grace Jones Stewart in memory of her mother, Mrs. Joseph T. Jones. At one time the garden was listed as one of two Municipal Rose Gardens in Mississippi, the other being in Jackson.
The Garden was reestablished in 1991 with Mrs. Louis Crawford as Club President and Mrs. Don Wilson as Rose Garden Chairman. Three beds containing 100 roses were planted in time to be a feature of the 1991 Pilgrimage. The sun-dial is all that remains from the original garden.
