Celestine and her family

Posted on February 24, 2023

The cover story in the Feb. 23 edition of Inweekly features Celestine Elizabeth Tolliver Harrison, her family and the bed and breakfast named in her honor. It’s a Pensacola story that we’re proud to share.

Born in Pensacola in 1908, Celestine was the matriarch of a family proud of its roots and heritage. The Celestine Bed & Breakfast is also a tribute to Celestine’s husband, Vandybilt, their five children — Jean, Lois, James, Mary and Horace — and every generation before and after, sharing with her the liquid thicker than water—stronger and more indelible, too.

Read Peeling Back the Layers of The Celestine Bed and Breakfast.
