| Jerry & Kay McWilliams owners of Southern Cedars (GRANBERRY PLANTATION MANSION) have begun a project to make vistation to Southern Cedars more meaningful and easier. It will be costly and Jerry is going to need our help. He and Kay have already spent quite a bit on surveyors, and legal issues Jerry is endeavoring to create a situation so that Southern Cedars can never be destroyed by developers by making it a STATE HISTORICAL SITE. It is already on the Historical tour schedule and by placing a discriptive monument the state will consider making it a protected Historical Site. A turn around is proposed for vistors and buses with a discriptive monument which will have a brief history of the HOUSE the GRANBERRY residents, and their lives. The estimated cost of preparing the turn around, with an all weather surface, removal of a tree and the monument will be about $2500.00. Hinds county has agreed to put direction markers on local roadways to direct vistors to Southern Cedars. . Southern Cedars is already receiving around a 100 vistors per year, who are learning about the GRANBERRY families. if you would care to contribute to this project please send your contribution to: Checks to: Southern Cedars Project Jerry McWilliams 1357 Kimball Rd.
