Starkville is expected to begin a process that will place Oktibbeha Gardens on the National Register of Historic Places and recognize its historic significance.
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History awarded the city a $5,000 grant in April for a historic resources survey and national register nomination for the district, which could span from east of North Montgomery Street, north to Critz Street and west toward Old West Point Road.
