Natchez, Miss - Twice a year, the town has "The Pilgrimage", when restored private homes are also opened to tours and there are dances, etc. to celebrate the pageantry of a lost way of life. A King and Queen and Court are selected for the main Ball. These are the gowns/costumes from a past Ball. ( I'm all for remembering the past, but I think it's a mistake to have the "King" wear a Confederate uniform. For one thing, it's a little strange since the pre-Civil War period, which is the one they are celebrating, by DEFINITION didn't Civil War uniforms, duh!
