Located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Pascagoula, the LaPointe-Krebs house, built in 1757, is the oldest structure in Mississippi and is the oldest confirmed building in the entire Mississippi Valley. Dating from the French Colonial period, the LaPointe-Krebs house (formerly known as the Old Spanish Fort) pre-dates the American Revolutionary War by over two decades. The restoration of this historic house was completed in May of 2021 and is now available for tours. There is an adjacent museum that is open for viewing. The museum presents exihibits related to local history and to the house and its unique construction. While modest in size, the museum has earned two international design awards for the two Jackson based firms responsible for its design.
