Southern Summers

Southern Summers
June 10 - August 2, 2011

Ahhh, the sweet scent of magnolia floating through the thick air, sipping "iced tea", and taking multiple showers a day...definitely going to be a great "Southern Summer".  Please come cool off with us at Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum!  We're open Wednsday through Sunday from noon until 4 PM!

Heat, oppressive humidity, Biblical storms and plaques of insects. This is a Southern-style summer. While the conditions seem intolerable, we native (and honorary) Southerners seem to adapt and make the best of mother nature’s fury. We always have and always will, it’s in our nature. More than any other time of the year, we cling to many seasonal traditions developed by our 19th century forefathers. Step into “Southern Summers” to learn how early Memphians “kept their cool”, even in the most intolerable situations.
