Historical descriptionThe LaPointe-Krebs House is one of the Gulf Coast’s oldest surviving structures, with a history extending to 1757. Long known locally as the Old Spanish Fort, the restored site and adjoining museum interpret French colonial construction, the families who occupied the property, regional archaeology, preservation work, and the layered history of Pascagoula. The institution’s official identity now preserves the LaPointe and Krebs family names while explicitly connecting the site to its former Old Spanish Fort museum name.
