Pass Christian Historical Society

Tour of Homes 2026

Sunday, May 3, 2:00-5:00. 

We hope you'll be able to join us for a fun afternoon!

The Pass Christian Historical Society has shared the history of our city through the homes and gardens of its homes for four decades.

This year we are pleased to feature four homes on our 2026 Tour of Homes:

• 120 West Scenic Dr. The Blue Rose - ca 1848-50. Home of Philip Lagrange and Herbert Purlsey. Described as the most significant antebellum home in the western portion of our town. It is currently operated as an event venue and gallery. It is on tour for the first time since its renovation.
• 
  
• 715 East Scenic Dr. - ca 1840's. Home of Margaret and Cliffe Laborde. The last antebellum brick home in Pass Christian. It had an early 20th century renovation and reflects a style that was extremely popular in the Pass at the time.
• 
  
• 723 East Scenic Dr. Home of Bridget and Robert (Bobby) Bories. Post Katrina construction evoking a southern colonial style.
• 
  
• 923 East Scenic Dr. -ca 1920. Home of Cindy Walker and Dave Dennis. Built on the site of the old Henry Ware home. It served as a school in the 50's and 60's. It has a Spanish tile roof and inviting portico.

In addition to viewing these beautiful homes, guests will enjoy complimentary tea and hors d’oeuvres at the Pass Christian Historical Society, 201 East Scenic Drive where we will be celebrating our Pass Christian Historical Society’s 60th BIRTHDAY!

The Historical Society was founded in 1966, but it wasn't until the 70's that it acquired an old bank building which was its home until Hurricane Katrina. The new building was built at the same location. The tea will be held here, and the library will be available during the tour.

The Billy Bourdin Memorial Library will be open, and Archivist Bruce Stinson and local historical author Catherine Myers will be on hand to show you around and answer questions.
