Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce

Your first stop in your tour of Ocean Springs to help guide your time in this sleepy and upscale historic town.
This shaded building once hailed as a train station; remains in that style as a architectural gem.
In fact as I was taking a photo of the welcome sign… a long train whistled and rumbled by; the porch deliciously shook in response.
Detected the building serves three purposes well 1) A separate retail art boutique called Realizations 2) The Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce 3) The (public) Ocean Springs Main Street– Tourism Bureau
Inside are prolific but tasteful examples of local art. (Please see my photos and tips)
Enter, and stop at the video kiosk for a full color brochure. Turn left for the water fountain and a public bathroom (resplendent w art). Or, you can turn right and enter the guidance portion of the visitor center.
The high counter (see picture) reminded me of where days of old a ticket master’s workstation would be.
This small but functional room serves you and any little ones traveling with you well.
Brochures line the left side of the room and interesting local art, some tall, fill the space.
Center on the floor is a kids visitors table. (How cute and thoughtful)
Sign in and ask questions about this interesting Main Street town. (Always sign in, it’s a nice thing to do; as it helps the town gauge the flow of traffic to plan outreach for next year)
For the Record: This town is a good non beach day kinda place to visit.
