  • Cover photo description:
  • Mississippi Delta. Highway 61 is the home to the MS blues trail. The delta is filled with a unique view of the United States. Yazoo city, port gibson, and rodney ms. Built in 1859-61 by Smith Daniell who only lived in the large mansion for a few weeks before he died. The Windsor plantation once sprawled over 2,600 acres. Legend says that from a roof observatory, Mark Twain watched the Mississippi River in the distance. A Yankee soldier was shot in the front doorway of the home. During the Civil War the mansion was used as a Union hospital and observation post, thus sparing it from being burned by Union troops. However, after the Civil War, during a house party on February 17, 1890 a guest left a lighted cigar on the upper balcony and Windsor burned to the ground. Everything was destroyed except 23 of the columns, balustrades and iron stairs. From the Natchez Trace Parkway take Mississippi Highway 552 at milepost 30. Go west and follow the signs.
