The Duff Green mansion was built in 1850 by Duff and Mary Green to be their family home. During the siege of Vicksburg in 1863, the home served as a field hospital for BOTH sides -- Yankees on the top floor and Rebels on the bottom floor.
Today the home has been meticulously restored (with help and guidance from the US Department of the Interior) and serves as a bed and breakfast.
