Bicentennial Celebration Events

Mississippi is celebrating its 200th year of statehood!

The Museums and Galleries Committee has planned a series of events throughout the fall to celebrate and everyone is invited!  Events kick off September 6th with a talk by Dr. Jim Giesen on the history of farming in Mississippi, but take a look at the entire poster! You will see one of our own Geosciences professors on the list of speakers.  We hope to see you this fall!
