Don’t miss the little museum in the back room of the visitor center. It gives a brief history of Biloxi and includes a lot of old photographs. A documentary featuring interviews with Biloxi residents who stayed through the storm and sea surge of Katrina is shown every day at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM in the theater on the second floor. The mayor, firemen, policemen, weathermen, and a few ordinary citizens give vivid descriptions of how it felt to be in the path of the storm and then to view the destruction that it left behind.
The visitor center is elevated on piers and has a long ADA ramp for accessibility. The center and theater are accessible.
Small RVs will fit in the lot backed up over the grass. Large RV can be parked in the beach parking lot on the opposite side of Beach Blvd. Center

ReplyDeleteI read your blog posts and added the Armed Forces Museum to my Mississippi map. It looks like a good one!
