Experience History from the Luxury of a Southern Pre-Civil War Mansion | House in Vicksburg
4 Bedroom House in Vicksburg
Stay in this historic pre-civil war mansion in the heart of historic Vicksburg which was updated in 2013 and has a private pool.
Constructed in 1830, Featherston-Magruder House was first built as a single story structure for Vicksburg's first school and its headmaster, Richard Featherson, and his family, who owned a planation south of Vicksburg on the Natchez trace and ran a supply chain serving the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Dr. Alex Magruder, the great grandson of an indentured servant who arrived in Virginia from Scotland in1653 expanded the house to two stories in 1850 and used the original as a clinic where he treated victims of the 1853 Yellow Fever Outbreak that killed half the city's population. Sold in 1869 to Nathaniel Thomas, son of General George Thomas of the Union army, the house was later owned by Tom Morrissey, a steamboat captain and liquor dealer. Built by slaves in the Greek Revival style, the house was remodeled with Italianate features. This historic mansion was spared the destruction of the siege because of the prisoners of war next door and managed to be hit by only one dud cannonball, which is now a door stop in the parlor.
Located at the epicenter of Civil War history, the property sits in the middle of historic Vicksburg and has easy access to the Civil War national park, a number of historic cotton and sugar plantations, the USS Cairo Museum and is one hour drive from Natchez. The home is a perfect way to end your visit to the Blues Trail and is conveniently located to the riverboat casinos and some of the country's best hunting grounds and bird watching sanctuaries.
The home is one of the first Italianate architecture homes in the US and is decorated with period pieces from 1850s and still feels homey despite its 19th century grandeur.
The property is adjacent to the county jail, which served a the central holding place for Union POWs, as well as to the old courthouse where Jefferson Davis accepted the presidency of the Confederacy and three years later Gen. Ulysses S. Grant accepted the surrender of the Confederate Army on July 4th, 1863.
