On July 19, the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum will host the annual meeting of the East Mississippi Foothills Land Trust, which will be free and open to the public. The meeting, sponsored by Mississippi Power, will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling exhibit Water/Ways, which the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum will host from July 14 through August 25.
The East Mississippi Foothills Land Trust is a group dedicated to conserving and promoting areas of ecological, cultural, and scenic significance in East Mississippi.
Water/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution.
