...that history is so alive in its most raw form. From old money families to antebellum architecture, there is no escaping the historical snapshot that is the Magnolia State. The downside is that those in charge are often guilty of white-washing said history. You may be from out of state and want to tour a plantation home and get everything on the home, when it was built, the historical occupants, their means of earning income and not once hear a mention of their slave ownership or how brutal a master they may have been. In a lot of cases, the plantation lands have completely done away with the slave quarters on their land and have done so with an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality. But there is no running from or hiding the past. It's always there in the open and a hidden in plain sight if you know how to look.
