It’s now closed, but we were fortunate to get by on several occasions prior.
Sure it’s a desecration to an ancient Native American burial mound, but the house didn’t flood.
Amazing “Colonial Revival” architecture and honestly a stunning beacon in the absolute middle of nowhere, both when it was built and still today.
You can still see it and drive by. Just north of Rolling Fork which is slowly rebuilding from a horrific tornado.
Also, if you’re coming from central Mississippi you’ll go across the coolest cantilevered draw bridge in the State!
It’s now closed to the public.
Unfortunately did not have time to tour the house but was able to pass by and get a few photos of this big house sitting on a mound and floating above the local fields.
Absolutely worth a visit. The name of my guide eludes me, but she was a lovely woman! The building is just very unusual and beautifully situated. With such a remote and baron feeling to the place, it is hard to believe that there is the necessary social infrastructure to support tours etc. The inside of the house is very well kept, though!
