Hello,
I am one of the great, great, great grandsons of Alfred Brooks from my grandmother's side. I have never been in Montrose, only through Holly Springs many times when I was a student at Ole Miss. We now live in the Chicago area and would like to come this summer to learn about my family heritage and spend some time in Holly Springs.

Would we be able to tour the house sometime in the summer? We wished we could come to the Pilgrimage, but we are out of the country that week.

Thanks for any information.
