Additional Details:
Home of Mrs. A. C. Register and family. Built in the early 1700's it is the oldest house in Mississippi. Understood to have been constructed as a French blockhouse of Fort Rosalie. Loop-holes in upper rooms suggest the days when Indians roamed through the forest surrounding it. Later made into a tavern, the oldest now in existence on the Natchez Trace. Long lower room is the old bar, or tap-room, where assembled historic characters of the time.
