Many thanks to the great people at the Mississippi Heritage Trust and the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area for all the support and encouragement in helping bring our dreams to fruition. We have a long road ahead but we are off to a great start!

Stay tuned, there's more to come!

Through our grant program, the MDNHA has supported Mississippi Heritage Trust's collaborative project to install a brand new roof at historic New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Estill, Mississippi.

The new roof was unveiled this week, and we were pleased to share the moment with (l. to r.) Chris Patrick from Southern Seamless (contractors); Lolly Barnes, MHT executive director; Hilda Povall, chair of the MDNHA Resource Stewardship Committee; and Ramona Greer representing Friends of New Hope. Congrats on completing this important first phase of New Hope's restoration!
