The Magnolias - Aberdeen, Mississippi

One of the few mansions in the south that remained elegant and undamaged during the Civil War this classic Greek revival style mansion boasts the beauty that true Southern Mansions are expected to be like. The Magnolias mansion is an architectural masterpiece from the front door to the back with such things as the mahogany stairway, the stained glass panels framing the front entrance and the beautiful grounds surrounding it.

The magnolia trees that adorn the property are truly a joy to both see and smell. Although the bloom period isn’t long, the color and fragrance of the blossoms make the name of the Mansion fit perfectly.

The Mansion was donated to the city of Aberdeen in 1984 after extensive renovation to return it to its former glory. Tours are available for those that would like to see it up close. It is a delightful addition to your Mississippi travel plans.
