About MissPres

Unknown's avatarWelcome 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 we 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.

New to MissPres?

How did MissPres get its start? Are you sentimental enough to be a preservationist? Who is E.L. Malvaney? Find the answers at "To Be Or Not To Be, That Was the Question."
