Duff Green Mansion in Vicksburg, Mississippi. An e Duff Green Mansion in Vicksburg, Mississippi. An elegant bed and breakfast in the heart of historic Vicksburg. Built in 1856 by Duff Green, a prosperous cotton broker, as a wedding present for his bride Mary Lake. The mansion was spared from destruction by clever negotiations by Mr. Green to allow the mansion to be used as a hospital for both the Union and Confederate wounded. The Green's lived in a cave near their home during the Siege of Vicksburg, where Mary gave birth to their son. I stayed in the Dixie Room which was originally the kitchen of the large home. During the war it was used as an operating room. The room is reportedly haunted by a soldier who is eternally searching for his missing arm. The only thing I experienced in the Dixie Room was a peaceful night's sleep. The next morning I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and a guided tour of the mansion by the gracious owner of the home. The Duff Green Mansion is a great place to stay during your tour of the south. Vicksburg is home of the Vicksburg National Battlefield and other historic Civil War sites. The residents take great pride in their unique place in history and continue to restore and save their historic buildings and sites. #duffgreenmansion #eleganthomes #bedandbreakfasts #vicksburg #southerncharm #southernliving #antebellumhomes #antebellummansions #tourthesouth #civilwarhistory #livingwithantiques #civilwarhospital #eleganthospitality #southernhistory #thelateunpleasantness #southernhospitality
