| Cove at waters edge |
"A group of Scotch-Irish Christians, under the area Presbyterian Church, established the The Central Mississippi Institute for Girls in 1885. The French Camp Academy for Boys opened later in 1885. The school was intended for children of Native Americans and White settlers who lived in the French Camp area. In 1915 a fire destroyed the girls' school; both the schools for boys and girls combined as the French Camp Academy. In 1950 the school was reorganized under a board of trustees, which represented various Christian denominations. The school operates several businesses in French Camp, including a bed and breakfast, a gift shop, and a restaurant." We toured the gift shop and had dessert at the cafe. Bread pudding and Mississippi Mud Pie with ice cream - Yum!
