Black Families Visitors' Guide - Histories - Genealogies
In 1989 The Holly Springs Federated Improvement Women's Club sponsored a fund-raiser, acquiring money to renovate the Bessie Jones House at 160 Randolph Street. The purpose was to establish an African American Museum. The fundraiser (a book compilation) was entitled MARSHALL COUNTY BLACK FAMILIES HISTORIES. Sections on individual Black families were written by the family member donor who presented the topic for their family history. This writer was the organizer of the event. With that said, this book is dedicated to the entire Holly Springs Federated Improvement Women's Club membership."I want my African American people to know and appreciate their history."(Rev. Leona Harris, Director)

Marshall County
Capturing townspeople and lifestyles that have long since disappeared, this remarkable review of Marshall County's history features dozens of images which have never before been published. Antebellum mansions and Victorian cottages look new again; cotton gins and wagons lining the courthouse square mirror an agrarian economy, which has all but vanished from the area. From the desperate poverty of turn-of-the-century sharecroppers to the revelry of a 1950s homecoming parade, all aspects and segments of Holly Springs life are included. Marshall County natives will recognize old friends and familiar businesses in these images. Those just discovering this fascinating corner of Mississippi will see its history graphically illustrated through the lens of Mrs. Smith's camera.

Holly Springs
Images of America: Holly Springs commemorates the founding and development of northwest Mississippi's quaintest city. Located in Marshall County, Holly Springs was built by pioneering families, some of whose descendants still own land purchased during the Chickasaw Indian Land Cession of 1832. Holly Springs endured Union occupation during the Civil War and a yellow fever epidemic in 1878. Famous homes, including the raised cottage Featherston Place and the grand manor Airliewood, are included in this volume, as is the city's historical Presbyterian church, the outer walls of which bear the scars of Civil War minie balls and shrapnel. Also showcased is Rust College, a historically black institution founded in 1866 that thrives today.
A Respectable Minority
