Gurley's House and Collection When visiting a friend in Marks, MS we passed a field with oddities such as a miniature Statue of Liberty, a huge dinosaur, and a shoe larger than a trailer. The signs along the long gravel driveway seemed inviting, so we went ahead, parked and roamed around the property. Lucky for us, Mr. Gurley saw us and happily offered a tour of his collection. Housed inside a large building is Gurley's collection of just about anything you can imagine; from a white squirrel that his son caught to case after case of travel memorabilia. As long as you are respectful of the property, Mr. Gurley encourages visitors to check out the outdoor collection at any time. If you want to see the indoor collection you could see if Mr. Gurley is around and get the personalized tour. [Jessica Sharpe, 01/16/2010]
