3) The courts do not have full fences between any of the courts they only have a short (about 12 feet) fence between every two courts. 2) There were no concessions available, and since this match was from 5:30-8:30pm, concessions would have been appropriate. Although the first row is just a bench with a back, the rows above that have individual chairs with seatbacks - much more comfortable.Ī few things keep this from being an 'excellent' tennis stadium: 1) The stadium seating is behind the four middle courts, so if you are interested in watching play on courts 5 and 6, you cannot get a direct 'down court' view of those two courts.

Be sure to look around the outside of the museum before you go in, as the landscaping includes an award-winning rain garden and green-roof pavilion. Run entirely by volunteers, check to be sure the museum is going to be open before you visit, as its hours are rather limited. You owe it to yourself to pay a visit to the museum if you're in the area. There's even a children's corner, with a wooden 'firetruck' they can play in.

Male children in the county were often named Feddy after Dr. One corner in the room with the sports cabinets contains a recreation of the office of a long-time Starkville physician, Dr. In another room, there's a cabinet devoted to female aviation pioneer Lynn Spruill, who is vying to become Starkville's mayor as I write this.

Along one wall in the largest room, three cabinets are devoted to sports figures of importance to Oktibbeha County (i.e., baseball player Cool Papa Bell, NBA star Bailey Howell, and NFL standout Jerry Rice). After that, we were pretty much on our own to explore the various rooms and exhibits in the museum. We started with a short introduction from Joan Wilson, Friends of the Museum's Volunteers Coordinator.

My wife and I toured the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum recently with other members of the MSU Association of Retired Faculty (ARF).
