Hancock County Historical Society

108 Cue St.

Tucked away on Cue Street you will find the Kate Lobrano House, a delightful 1896 shotgun cottage that operates as headquarters for the Hancock County Historical Society. Donated to the society in 1988 by the grandchildren of Katherine Maynard Lobrano, most of the original house is used as a turn-of-the-century museum, but a large addition to the back of the building provides office and storage facilities for research, lecture and social function areas for the historical society.

The Hancock County Historical Society is dedicated to the preservation of the history of Hancock County and its people. They collect, preserve, and maintain a collection of tens of thousands of documents, photographs, memorabilia, and artifacts designed to help future generations understand their heritage. This non-profit organization takes pride in putting forth every effort to make their extensive library of information publicly available at their headquarters at the Lobrano house and also online. Over the years, membership in the Society has grown from fewer than a dozen to more than a thousand people, making them one of the largest civic organizations on the Gulf Coast.

This September Second Saturday, the Hancock County Historical Society will be hosting their Hot Spot with the theme “Moonshine, Marshmallows, Music and Memories” from 4pm to 8pm. Visitors won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to learn about the history of moonshine in Mississippi. Throughout the evening, members of the Historical Society will be sharing moonshine stories outside around a fire pit along with marshmallow roasting and live music provided by a variety of individual musicians including a guitarist, fiddler, and more. Inside, HCHS will be screening a slideshow of pictures of Bay St. Louis and Waveland from over the years.
