Anchuca
A Greek Revival residence built in 1830, from whose balcony Confederate President Jefferson Davis once gave a speech. It now operates as a boutique inn.
Anchuca, meaning 'happy home' in Choctaw, is one of Vicksburg's earliest Greek Revival houses. Its elegant white Doric colonnade façade is paired with interiors that retain antique furniture and gas chandeliers. In 1869, former Confederate President Jefferson Davis addressed the public from the second-floor balcony. The house now operates as a historic inn and restaurant, and non-guests can join guided tours during set hours. Located in the old town, about a five-minute walk from the Old Court House, it suits visitors who love pre-war architecture.
