THE MEMORY OF SAINT LOUIS IS PRESERVED IN HOLLY BLUFF GARDENS
An impressive statue of Louis IX, King of France, Crusader, and Saint, now stands in the gardens of Holly Bluff on-the-Jordan. In the year 1699, on the birthday of this saintly king, the French-Canadian explorer, Sieur Pierre Le Moyne d’Iberville, discovered the inlet that he named “Bay of Saint Louis” in reverence and gratitude to his patron saint.
Formerly this figure in Italian marble was over the grave of an ancestor of one of the owners of Holly Bluff, in Rig-ny, France. Because of the family connection and the link with the City of Bay
Saint Louis, the statue was brought to rest in this peaceful Mississippi garden.
Summer has come to the gardens with the bloom of gay hibiscus, allamandas, hydrangea, and tropical plants. There are two miles of shady paths that wind through these 50 acres of woodland gardens. Relics of primitive times in this section are shown, and in the “Little Museum” is displayed a collection of art objects from the old world.
The development of 3700 acres with cattle pastures, deer park, wild life preserve, and now famous gardens, has proved an asset to Hancock County
Take Highway 90 and turn north on the Kiln Road for Holly Bluff Gardens where parking and picnic facilities are provided.
