What is the difference between the Vicksburg Foundation for Historic Preservation and the Vicksburg Warren County Historical Society?
Both organizations were started by the same woman, Eva Davis, because she believed that there needed to be two separate groups with separate missions. The Historical Society exists to operate the Old Court House Museum and to preserve artifacts that reflect the history of the Vicksburg-Warren County area. The Foundation was established to identify, preserve, protect and interpret the built environment of Vicksburg, as opposed to material culture.
