In January 2007, the City of Biloxi hopes to begin a $300,000 project to restore the oldest section of the Biloxi City Cemetery, the beachfront section of the cemetery where graves date back to the early 1800s.
Here are pre- and post-Katrina photos of the cemetery. (The pre-Katrina photos, from the archives of the Biloxi library, are courtesy of photographer Nicole Young; the black-and-white photo, circa 1950s, is courtesy of Chauncey Hinman. Post-Katrina photos were taken by Public Affairs Manager Vincent Creel.
