Description Il accomplit sa mission à travers une série d'expositions sur la crevette, les huîtres, la pêche récréative, les zones humides, la gestion des ressources marines, les bateaux charter, la forge marine, la construction de bateaux en bois, la fabrication de filets, les catboats/skiff Biloxi, la machine à éplucher les crevettes et de nombreuses photographies historiques et objets. Le Wade Guice Hurricane Museum au sein du musée, comprenant 130 m2 d'espace d'exposition et un théâtre à la pointe de la technologie. Le musée a donné vie à l'histoire et au patrimoine maritimes locaux en reproduisant deux goélettes Biloxi à deux mâts de près de 20 m (65 pieds). En août 2005, le musée a été détruit par l'ouragan Katrina. Neuf ans plus tard, un musée de 3 étages de 1,900 m2, nouvellement construit, a ouvert ses portes au public.Reconstruction Le 2 août 2014, un nouveau musée de trois étages, contenant 20 000 pieds carrés (1 900 m2), a ouvert au public.[2] Programmes Le Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum parraine actuellement deux programmes par an, le Sea and Sail Adventure Camp et le Billy Creel Memorial Wooden Boat Show. Dans le camp d'aventure Sea and Sail, les enfants âgés de 8 à 13 ans découvrent l'histoire et le patrimoine de la côte du golfe du Mississippi à travers des excursions à la voile, de pêche, d'artisanat maritime et des sorties sur le terrain dans l'industrie des fruits de mer. Le Billy Creel Memorial Wooden Boat Show présente les bateaux en bois historiques, antiques, classiques et contemporains lors du plus grand rassemblement d'embarcations sur la côte du golfe du Mississippi. Goélettes Achevé en juin 2006, le Schooner Pier Complex abrite les deux répliques de goélette Biloxi pour la pêche aux huÎtres. Ces goélettes ont jadis navigué sur la côte de la fin des années 1800 au début des années 1900 ; Cependant, l'introduction de moteurs marins et les changements dans les lois sur la récolte des huîtres ont fait disparaître ces magnifiques bateaux. Glenn L. Swetman: Mike Sékul : La jetée comprend trois pavillons, une zone de stockage pour les pièces de la goélette, des toilettes accessibles aux personnes handicapées et une plate-forme d'observation au deuxième étage. Il dispose également d'une station de pompage marine et d'un espace pour une future boutique de cadeaux et d'un espace de bureau pour les affaires de goélettes.

De Grummond Children's Literature Collection The de Grummond Children's Literature Collection is part of the McCain Library and Archives on the Hattiesburg campus of The University of Southern Mississippi. It is one of North America's leading research centers in the field of children's literature. The focus is on American and British children's literature, historical as well as contemporary. The collection is named for Dr. Lena Y. de Grummond, who founded it in 1966. She was a professor in the field of library science (specializing in children's literature) at The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, who assembled materials sent by contributors from around the world. More than 1200 artists, illustrators, and collectors have generously donated published books and original materials. Dr. De Grummond contacted the Reys in 1966 about the university's new children's literature collection. H.A. and Margret made a donation of a pair of sketches at the time. In 1996, after Margret's death, it was revealed in her will that the entire literary estate of the Reys was to be donated to the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection at The University of Southern Mississippi. One major acquisition was papers of Ezra Jack Keats, 165 boxes processed in 1998, the only Keats archive. It includes artwork, dummies, manuscripts, typescripts and proofs for 37 books written or illustrated by Keats; personal, professional and fan correspondence; photographs and childhood memorabilia. Curious George collection The McCain building is home to the world's largest collection of Curious George writings and artifacts.

McLemore Cemetery

McLemore Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Meridian, Mississippi, United States. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1979, and is the oldest surviving historic site in the city. History Richard McLemore, founder of the cemetery, was the first permanent settler of Meridian in the 1830s. In 1839, McLemore established the cemetery behind a Baptist Church he had built at 6th St and 16th Ave, just outside East End Historic District. McLemore is now buried in the cemetery, along with fatalities of the 1871 race riot and the 1878 Yellow Fever epidemic. Masonic Lodge members reportedly helped treat victims of the outbreak, which explains the numerous Masons now buried in the cemetery. The cemetery contains around 100 gravesites, the earliest from the 1830s and the most recent from 1942. Since then, the cemetery has been in a state of degradation with overgrown grass and weeds and crumbling headstones. In 1971 Carol James, head of genealogy research at Meridian Public Library, conducted a census of the identifiable gravesites in the cemetery, totalling 96. The census can now be viewed in the library. James reported about the cemetery's lack of upkeep, stating that vandalism of headstones had been a problem. By 2006 many headstones were in such bad condition that the names were no longer distinguishable. Others had been covered by weeds and other growth, or had moved significantly from their original locations.

Mississippi School for the Deaf

The Mississippi School for the Deaf (MSD) is a school for the deaf and hard of hearing in Jackson, Mississippi accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). It offers elementary and secondary education (K-12), covering students from pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade. History Established by the Mississippi Legislature on March 1, 1854, the school was originally named the Mississippi Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. In its early years, the school was troubled by a lack of teaching staff, which sometimes closed its doors, but in 1857 Lawrence Saunders, the school's first student, returned to teach. Although the school was closed during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1871 when the building was used as a hospital by the Confederate States Army, it never had to close for lack of instructors again. Saunders continued to teach until he died in an accident on Christmas Day in 1895. Facilities The current 51 acres (210,000 m2) campus is located at 1253 Eastover Drive in Jackson, the fifth building to house the school. It includes dormitories.

Mississippi State Hospital

The Mississippi State Hospital (MSH) is a psychiatric facility operated by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health. It is located along Mississippi Highway 468 in the unincorporated community of Whitfield in Rankin County, Mississippi, United States. The 350-acre (140 ha) campus is located 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Jackson, between Jackson and Brandon. Many people refer to the center as "Whitfield," after the community in which it is located. History In 1846, Mississippi governor A. G. Brown promoted the need for an insane asylum to the state legislature. In 1920, the state hospital was located in Jackson and had 1,670 residents. In 1930, it had 2,649 residents. In 1935, the Mississippi State Insane Asylum moved from a complex of 19th-century buildings in northern Jackson to its current location, the former property of a state penal colony, the Rankin Farm. MSH became overcrowded. It held people with severe mental illness, as well as people suffering from alcoholism, depression, menopause, and other ailments that have been resolved with modern medicine in later generations. In the 1930s, the facility consisted of 3,500 acres (1,400 ha) acres of farmland, including 1,500 acres (610 ha) cultivated acres. MSH was a self-sufficient facility, with its own bakery, dairy, laundry, post office, tuberculosis hospital, and water wells. Hunter Cole, author of The Legs Murder Scandal, said that in the 1930s, MSH appeared "more like an estate than a prison" due to the fields, meadows, and woodlands in the area. Arrington High, a black man protesting segregationist activities in Mississippi, was confined there in 1957 for the rest of his life. During the time MSH had many Mount Vernon style buildings. A lake was created in front of the main buildings. Before desegregation, MSH was segregated. White patients resided on the east side of the campus and African-American patients resided on the west side of the campus. Each group had its own group of facilities including chapels, dining halls, recreational facilities, and tuberculosis sanatoria. In 1935, 3,000 residents and 475 employees lived in the facility. Facilities Children from age four to 17 years and 11 months who require acute, short-term treatment are treated at the Oak Circle Center (OCC). MSH also has the Chemical Dependency Unit (CDU) to treat people who have alcohol and/or drug addictions. The Lakeside School at MSH provides educational services. The state hospital includes the Jacquith Nursing Home. The United States Postal Service Whitfield Post Office is located on the property of MSH. Staff housing is provided by MSH.

Natchez National Historical Park

Natchez National Historical Park interprets and preserves the history of Natchez, Mississippi, and is managed by the National Park Service. The park consists of four separate sites: Fort Rosalie preserves the site of an eighteenth-century French colonial fortification. It was later renamed "Fort Panmure" and later passed successively under British, Spanish, and United States control. The fort site is open to the public. The William Johnson House preserves the home of William Johnson, a free Black barber and businessman in nineteenth-century Natchez whose diary has been published. Melrose was the plantation estate of John T. McMurran, a lawyer, state senator, and planter who lived in Natchez from 1830 until the American Civil War. Forks of the Road Market is the site of the second-largest domestic slave market in the Deep South between 1832 and 1863. This unit of the park opened in an official ceremony on June 18, 2021. Both the Melrose and the William Johnson houses contain furnishings related to life in antebellum Natchez, as well as other exhibits. The collection at Melrose's two-story Greek Revival house and quarters used by enslaved people include painted floor cloths, mahogany, a punkah, a set of Rococo Revival parlor furniture, a set of Gothic Revival dining room chairs, and bookcases with books dating to the 18th century. These objects were collected from families in the Natchez area, including the McMurran family. The collection in the Johnson house includes artifacts associated with Johnson's household and personal life. Archaeological artifacts found in the park are also on display. Legal history The National Historical Park was authorized on October 7, 1988 (Pub. L. 100–479, H.R. 4457). The William Johnson House was added to it on September 28, 1990 (Pub. L. 101–379, H.R. 4501). As with all historic areas administered by the National Park Service, the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Fort Rosalie was already included in the National Register as part of the 1972 NRHP-listed Natchez Bluffs and Under-the-Hill Historic District; the William Johnson House, at 210 State St., is a few blocks from the Fort Rosalie site and is both separately NRHP-listed and also included in the Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District. Melrose is located about two miles southeast of Fort Rosalie. References The National Parks: Index 2001–2003. Washington: U.S. Department of the Interior.

National Data Buoy Center

Le National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) fait partie du National Weather Service (NWS) de la National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Son mandat est de concevoir, développer, exploiter et entretenir un réseau de bouées météorologique et océaniques et de stations côtières. Le NDBC est situé dans le sud du Mississippi dans des édifices situés au John C. Stennis Space Center, une installation de la National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Histoire En 1960, le National Data Buoy Development Program (NDBDP) est créé et mis sous la direction de la garde-côtière des États-Unis (USCG). En 1970, lors d'un réorganisation des services environnementaux, la NOAA est créée prend charge du NDBDP sous le nom de Data Buoy Office (NDBO) au sein du National Ocean Service (NOS). En 1982, le NDBO a été rebaptisé NDBC et placé sous la tutelle du National Weather Service. Les premières bouées déployées par le NDBC étaient de grandes coques en acier de diamètre de 12 mètres. Celles-ci étaient généralement déployées en eaux profondes au large de la côte est des États-Unis et dans le golfe du Mexique. En 1979, 16 stations étaient déployées dans le Pacifique, 7 dans l'Atlantique et 3 dans le golfe du Mexique. Huit autres stations ont été déployées dans les Grands Lacs après 1979. En 1995, le développement du système d'évaluation et de signalement des tsunamis en haute mer (DART) a commencé, avec un déploiement commençant en 2000. À la suite du séisme et tsunami de 2004 dans l'océan Indien et des tsunamis qui ont suivi, des bouées supplémentaires ont été déployées. Mission Le National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) fournit des informations marines et côtières à l’appui des objectifs de la mission de la NOAA, provenant de 4 systèmes d'enregistrement d'observation : plus de 110 bouées météorologiques côtières amarrées, principalement situées dans la zone économique exclusive (ZEE) des États-Unis et les Grands Lacs, qui fournissent des données météorologiques et océanographiques en temps réel ; un réseau de stations météorologiques automatisées à proximité du littoral (C-MAN) ; un réseau de bouées amarrées, principalement situés le long de l'océan Pacifique et des îles hawaïennes pour le signalement des tsunamis en haute mer au Tsunami Warning Center ; un réseau de bouées amarrées, principalement situées dans Pacifique équatorial, qui fournissent des données océanographiques à la communauté scientifique de la NOAA. Le NDBC maintient aussi un réseau de bouées dérivantes.
