History hangs upon Mobile like the Spanish
moss that drapes her live oaks. Already old when the Civil
War began, Mobile is distinguished from younger cities throughout
the state by her rich Spanish, French, African and Creole
heritage. History is reflected not only in the architecture
of Mobile, but in cuisine and cultural diversity. The international
trade sustained by Mobile throughout her 300-year history
has provided even the earliest settlers with the finer things
from Europe, England, the Mediterranean, and the Orient. Mobile's
five historic house-museums, which are open to the public
year-round and display artifacts native to this land, and
treasures brought from far away. Grand houses and public buildings,
each with its own distinctive charm reflect the builders'
and owners' taste and heritage. Festivals and the observance
of religious holidays were not forgotten by early settlers;
thus, from its founding in 1702, Mobile has celebrated Christmas,
"Boef Gras" (now called Mardi Gras), Lent, Easter
and more. Modern-day celebrations now include BayFest (October)
Kwanza (December) and First Night Mobile (January). For almost
