Own a Piece of Playing Card
History!
The Vicksburg Foundation for Historic
Preservation's first in a series of playing cards sporting images of
historic buildings hit the market in December. Now, the same set is available with a different
back (the Old Court House) because of requests by many for Bridge
decks. The cards are $10 a
deck and are available at the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum and at
other businesses downtown. We would like to thank the
following for selling the cards for us as a fund raiser.
We hope that you will patronize
these business as they have supported the Foundation.
Foundation
Begins Resurvey of the Historic Vicksburg District
The Foundation has been awarded a
contract to resurvey the buildings within the Historic Vicksburg
District. The District was initially surveyed by the
Foundation in 1987. At that time, an inventory form was
completed on every building and black and white photographs were
taken. The inventory forms are used by the Board of
Architectural Review, the Foundation, and the Mississippi Department
of Archives and History.
There have been many changes within the District over the last 20
years and the forms need updating. Technology has also changed
since 1987 and the new photographs will be digital, which should
make the information easier to use.
