Mississippi Roads - (#2209) Stennis Space Center
Wat at Stennis Space Center
John Wayne Blough

Celestine Labat
Walkers in the Woods
 
 

John C. Stennis Space Center is a unique federal city in Hancock County. While it may not have actual residents, it has 4000 people who work there each day. We had fun at Stennis. There's lots to see and do in the newly opened StenniSphere.

Miss Celestine Labat was born in Bay Saint Louis in 1898 and still lives in the house where she was born. In her life, she's seen Creole culture on the Mississippi Coast thrive and fade away. She tells a remarkable story.

As children, we sometimes want to grow up to be cowboys. John Wayne Blough did -- and then he made his dream come true. He lives a cowboy life on Hilltop Painted Acres in Brandon.

Sometimes seeing things in different colors helps us learn about them. Other times, looking at things in simple black and white gives us the clearest vision. ETV's Stanley Graham wrote the poem "Walking in the Woods" and we interpreted it in video.

Existing between the Gulf of Mexico and the mainland, Horn Island is a 14 mile long stretch of natural beauty. On Walt's Way, we explore the endless beaches, blue waters, tidal lagoons and sand dunes that make this place a treasure for nature lovers.
