Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

A place worth knowing

Make room for Bay St. Louis.

Give Bay St. Louis a slower coastal day with folk art, local history and an Old Town meal. Check each collection’s current address before choosing your route. A waterside walk can round out the visit when weather and public access allow.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Alice Moseley Folk Art Museum

Plan your visit using the museum’s current contact page, which lists 220 Main Street. The museum has moved from the depot; check the current address and opening directly.

Historic L&N Train Depot

Choose a look at the historic depot using current local visitor guidance. Confirm which collections and interior areas are presently open; older listings may still place the relocated Alice Moseley museum here.

Old Town Bay St. Louis

Choose a public-street walk among Old Town galleries and shops, with time for a meal. Confirm individual openings and event dates; waterfront scenery does not establish safe water conditions.
