Historical Markers in Mississippi
(Placed After 1996)

MOUNT LOCUST

Constructed ca. 1780, this home is one of the oldest structures in Mississippi.  It functioned as both a working
plantation and as an inn, where travelers on the Natchez Trace could rest for the night.  Mount Locust is the only
surviving inn of the more than 50 that existed during the period of greatest use of the Old Natchez Trace.
(Located in front of the Ranger station at Mount Locust.)

Placed June 26, 2004, by the Mississippi DAR.
