About MissPres
Welcome to Preservation in Mississippi, a blog about historic buildings, places, and even a few people in Mississippi. Preservation has a long history in the Magnolia State, and I hope this blog will help build a stronger community of local and state preservationists. Join the discussion, talk back, agree, disagree, etc. by adding your comments (insightful, silly, but always respectful) and sharing important stories from your neck of the woods.
