Ann, We lived in Gulfport until 1980. Maybe that was when they changed. Previously it was to represent the antebellum period. Mobile, Natchez, and I believe Vicksburg do the trail maids. Am I leaving out any other cities? I believe Albert Cat said that they did them in his area of North Carolina. We discussed this topic on the h-costume a long time ago. Ann were the trail maids at Bellingrath Gardens? That is just a little way up from the Fowl River from the rental house that we were staying at last week. Funny, that I have never been there.
I didn't realize until reading the newspaper last week that this is something society's debs did.
