It was a lovely day to take in the weather and the scenery and later this week you can check out the Gulfport Museum of History in the downtown area at the old Railroad Train Depot.
COVID forced the museum to shut down in March, just eight days after opening, but the downtown museum is back open to the public three days a week, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but they’re hoping to expand their operations soon. Historical Society of Gulfport President Betty Shaw said, “We’d like to be opened more days a week-we really would, but we need some volunteers to come down. The only qualification you need is you do need to love history.”

Admission is free.
If you’d like to sign up to volunteer with the museum you can drop by Thursday through Saturday at their location at 1419 27th Avenue in Gulfport or visit www.gulfcoast.org .
Toni started at WXXV News 25 in December of 2013, just three months after the news was launched. She has served as Assignment Editor, anchored for nearly two years, worked as a reporter for several years and hosted Coastal Connections for more than four years. Toni graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Southern Mississippi where she was editor of the Student Printz. She then did an internship on Capitol Hill, working for a U.S. Senator, then returned to Mississippi as a reporter at WDAM in Hattiesburg. After that, she moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, working as a reporter for FOX 25 in Biloxi, then crossing city lines to work at WLOX-TV news in Biloxi, starting out as a producer, then working as a photographer, reporter, weekend assignment editor and weekend anchor. She was among the station team that won the Edward Murrow and Peabody awards for coverage during Hurricane Katrina. Toni moved to the Lone Star State where she worked as the morning and noon anchor, investigative reporter and live shot reporter for KZTV Action 10 News, then KRIS TV News in Corpus Christi, Texas. Toni moved back to the Magnolia State to be with and take care of her family, working as a multi-media journalist and fill-in anchor at WDBD Fox 40 news in Jackson. After almost completing a second degree in filmmaking at the University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast, Toni transitioned back to news at News 25. Toni is blessed to have a wonderful support network of close family, friends and mentors, and she hopes to pay it forward. She has a three-legged chiweenie named Rocky Balboa because of his fighting spirit.
