"A Walking Tour of Liberty, MS" DVD Now Available

The ACHGS has put together a wonderful DVD of some of their best items. Representative Sam King took some time to tell us about the project.

"After sorting through all the historical photos of Liberty we had scanned for the Amite County Historical Photo Collection, I begun to realize we had enough to tell a great story about the development of Liberty through historical photographs and narration as well as how a lack of foresight caused the loss of a great many historical landmarks. Hopefully, it will help future generations realize the importance of preserving our history. We put it all into a movie along with a reading of the first hand description of the Battle of Liberty in 1864 from Sally Van Norman McLain—very informative and educational."

To purchase a DVD contact Ms Oma Gordon at 225-603-6722 , or send a check for $13.00 made out to ACHGS to Dawn Taylor, PO Box 698, Liberty, MS 39645 along with your return address.
