Did You Know Mississippi State Houses a Presidential Library?
SUMMARY: The Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library at Mississippi State University houses significant artifacts, including a lock of Frederick Douglass’s hair and photographs from Grant’s funeral procession. The collection encompasses letters and writings from Grant, who served as a Union General during the Civil War and the 18th President of the U.S. It is paradoxical that a library dedicated to a Union hero is located in Mississippi, given Grant’s military campaigns against the Confederacy. Established in 2009, the library features photocopies of original documents and includes artifacts, making it a research hub and a museum for visitors.

SUMMARY: Sun Queen, a Bermuda grass variety developed by Melodee Fraser, the first female graduate of Mississippi State University‘s turfgrass management program, is gaining popularity worldwide. Fraser, who discovered her passion for turfgrass research at MSU, partnered with Pure-Seed Testing, Inc. to create Sun Queen, which underwent successful trials across the U.S. and is now commercially available. This seeded variety is less expensive, quick to germinate, and more aesthetically pleasing than traditional sod. Industry experts expect Sun Queen to disrupt the turfgrass market due to its heat and drought tolerance, particularly benefiting regions facing climate challenges.

SUMMARY: Fall is a cherished season, providing a welcome relief from the oppressive heat of a South Mississippi summer. It’s an ideal time for outdoor activities like walking in Desoto National Forest or cycling around Biloxi cemetery. As the weather cools, the family menu shifts from light summer fare to hearty dishes, with a focus on well-seasoned meals made with local ingredients. Jambalaya tops the list, made with smoked Conecuh sausage, vegetables, and Mississippi-grown rice. Other fall favorites include gumbo, shrimp etouffee, and shrimp boils, which are popular social gatherings rich in flavor and camaraderie.

SUMMARY: Pumpkin patches are a delightful fall tradition for both children and adults, offering a chance to connect with nature and support local farms. Pumpkins, which have been harvested since early American days, are grown on every continent except Antarctica. Notable pumpkin farms in Mississippi include Sandy Run Farm, Triple R Farms, Moseley Meadows, Mitchell Farms, and Williams Family Farms, each boasting high ratings and various family-friendly activities. Visiting pumpkin patches fosters family bonding and creates memories, whether through pumpkin carving or making delicious dishes. Consider making a visit to a local patch this fall for a fun experience!
