The
LaPointe-Krebs House and Museum is where history comes alive on the beautiful
Mississippi Gulf Coast. We are proudly dedicated to preserving and sharing the
history of the oldest standing structure in the Mississippi Valley—the historic
French Colonial LaPointe-Krebs House (formerly known as “The Old Spanish
Fort”).
The
mission of the LaPointe-Krebs Foundation is to facilitate the preservation and
maintenance of this rare 18th-century landmark and its 3.5-acre estate grounds.
We serve the public by inspiring a deep understanding of this site’s rich
history and the diverse people who have inhabited this region throughout the
centuries.
