Road Trip
to
Claiborne, Jefferson and Adams Counties, MS
My son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter came back with lots of pictures from a recent
trip to Claiborne, Jefferson and Adams Counties.  They visited historic churches, cemeteries
and a synagogue in Port Gibson and went to see Windsor Ruins and the ruins of Elizabeth
Academy.  They strolled through the haunting ghost towns of Rocky Springs and Rodney
and visited their ancient cemeteries.

They took photos in cemeteries that author Eudora Welty photographed in the 1930's, when
they had already been abandoned by towns that had all but ceased to be.  And they wondered
at the fragile nature of the monuments we build, believing that they will last forever.

I've made a web page for each of the places they visited so I could share the photos they brought
back.  I hope you enjoy this virtual road trip as much as I enjoyed putting the pages together.
