The plantation was built in the 1840s by a cotton planter named Alfred Vidal Davis. The plantation was also once the home of John R. Lynch. Lynch was born into slavery, but he went on to become Mississippi’s first black U.S. Representative and Speaker of the House in 1873. The plantation is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
