Monmouth
A Greek Revival plantation house once home to John Quitman, Mississippi governor. It is now an upscale historic hotel.
Monmouth was built in 1818. It later became the residence of John Quitman, a general in the Mexican-American War and governor of Mississippi. The square red-brick main house has a tall white portico, surrounded by 26 acres of gardens, ponds, and century-old oaks. It is now an upscale historic hotel and restaurant. Non-guests can reserve dinner or visit the public areas, making it a good choice for visitors who want to experience staying in a Southern plantation house.
