Bride’s Room
The tester (or canopy) bed belonged to the Lloyd Family. The Foundation was able to purchase it during the restoration. Note the gathered fabric at the top. There is a French chamber pot hidden in what appears to be a small bedside table. The Bride’s Room is still used today for brides in preparation of their weddings. There is an adjoining bathroom that was installed in 1904. It even has a fireplace! Sorry. This room is no longer usable due to corroded pipes, and the room is OFF LIMITS.

Phase Two Raise the Roof
Architectural and engineering reports for the rear porch and kitchen—spaces often hidden but vital to Merrehope’s character—are nearing completion. Guided by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH), we are excited about the progress these steps promise.
Phase Three Raise the Roof Capital Campaign
As we continue to tackle challenges ahead, experts recommend addressing the damage on the front northeast corner. This marks the beginning of the initial assessments and plans!
Thanks to generous donors and grants, every milestone is possible.
Your contributions truly make a difference.
