Chapel of the Cross wins MHT Spirit of Preservation Award

Originally constructed in 1924, Chapel of the Cross has long been a spiritual and architectural landmark in Rolling Fork. When the devastating tornado of 2023 struck the community, the church was nearly leveled, leaving only fragments of the historic building behind. WBA and the community rallied behind the church to rebuild what once stood there in a way that honored the original elements, congregants, and lasting impact of the church itself. Mississippi Heritage Trust named this project the Spirit of Preservation recipient. Read more and see other MHT award winners below!
