MAA WELCOMES THE KIT JONES!!

THE KIT JONES historical vessel is back home and next to the Old Jail Art Center, completing its long journey from deteriorating in a Biloxi shipyard! Look for a permanent exhibit to be housed upstairs in the Old Jail, overlooking the Kit.  To help fund this exciting undertaking (which is already proving to be a great draw to Darien and the Old Jail Art Center), FRIENDS OF THE KIT JONES (a non-profit) is selling personalized bricks to pave the area surrounding her. Visit www.savethekitjones.com to find out how you can be immortalized while helping preserve a part of McIntosh history.  Commemorative 11×17 posters and postcards are also available to benefit the Kit Jones and MAA.
