Landmarks in Humanities: Teaching Architecture, History and Culture Using Historic Places will occur over three weeks hosted by The Alex Foundation. A financial gift from the Steve Azar St. Cecilia Foundation to Alex Foundation will give rising 7th grade students in the Delta the opportunity to tour The Belmont 1857 (formerly Belmont Plantation) beginning July 10 and concluding July 25.
A Mississippi Humanities Council grant allowed Alex Foundation to purchase architecture supplies and materials; retain historian Catherine Gardner to introduce students to historic Nelson Street in Greenville; and retain an architect, Brandon Bibby to teach architecture and introduce students to The Belmont 1857 in Wayside, and Grammy Museum Mississippi in Cleveland.
