While here, he toured Barnard Observatory, winner of a 1996 National Trust Honor Award; visited two National Historic Landmarks, William Faulkner's home, Rowan Oak, and Mrs. John Tatum's home, Ammadelle; and, at the Oxford Tourism Council's headquarters on the Courthouse Square, spoke to members of the National Trust, the Mississippi Heritage Trust, and the Oxford-Lafayette County Heritage Foundation.
