The Magnolia Hotel, which was built in 1847, holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving hotel on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This historic establishment has seen many changes over the years, but its significance remains intact. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1985. The hotel was originally constructed for John Hahn, who operated a coffeehouse in New Orleans. Over the years, it has served as a popular resort destination and a winter retreat for guests from northern states.

The museum showcases a variety of memorabilia from carnival celebrations and documents the history of the Magnolia Hotel. This unique combination of history and culture provides visitors with a rich and immersive experience, offering a glimpse into the past and the vibrant traditions of the region.
