Mississippi Homes
Montgomery Home
The I.T. Montgomery House, located at 302 West Main Street in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, was built around 1910 for Isaiah Thornton Montgomery (1847–1924), a former slave of Joseph Davis who co-founded Mound Bayou in 1887.
Nitta Yuma
Nitta Yuma is an unincorporated community located in Sharkey County, Mississippi, United States. Nitta Yuma is located along U.S. Route 61, approximately four miles north of Anguilla. Nitta Yuma is a name derived from the Choctaw language purported to mean "mixed with bear".
Railroad House
Perched along the railroad tracks in Porterville, Mississippi, this early 1900s house stands as a silent witness to Kemper County’s past.
Oak Vale
Nestled right on the highway's edge, this old homestead likely witnessed times when the road was nothing more than a dirt path, traveled solely by foot or horse and buggy.
Beds
As I approached the overgrown, nearly hidden farmhouse, a sense of abandonment hung in the air.
AK Shaifer House
The journey to the A.K. Shaifer House, the site of the first skirmish of the Battle of Port Gibson, was as challenging as it was rewarding.
Hooker Street
The house at 501 Hooker St in Jackson, Mississippi, is nestled in a city brimming with historical significance and architectural heritage.
Mount Locust Inn
Mount Locust is a location that has been settled on by many different people and under many different flags during its long history of human occupation that dates back as far back as 600 C.E. (Common Era), long before Europeans first stepped foot in the area.
Atari 2600
This is why I always take the back roads.
Tiger
I came across this old, abandoned house in Mississippi that really tells a story. It's pretty run-down and wasn't kept up well at all.
Coke!
I recently explored a house that was like stepping into a Coca-Cola treasure trove.
Susie B. Law House
It's unfortunate, but Susie B Law House has been reduced to ashes.
Movie Posters
Tucked away in the woods of rural Mississippi stands a house with a unique touch: rooms adorned with movie posters, including "The Waterboy."
Mount Holly
Mount Holly (a.k.a. Dudley Plantation) was a historic Southern plantation in Foote, Mississippi. Built in 1855, it was visited by many prominent guests, including Confederate President Jefferson Davis. It was later acquired by ancestors of famed Civil War novelist Shelby Foote, who wrote a novel about it. It burned down on June 17, 2015.
Hidden
As I was wandering through a dense forest, I stumbled upon an overgrown path that seemed to lead nowhere. But my curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to follow it.
Ranch Style
The old ranch-style house had been abandoned for years, and it showed. The windows were shattered, the door hung off its hinges, and the yard was overgrown with weeds.
Three Houses
As I drove through the quiet backroads of Mississippi, I came across three abandoned houses.
Korean War Vet
This home once belonged to a Korean War veteran. A small fire in the kitchen appeared to be the ruination of his home.
Windsor Ruins
Windsor mansion was constructed as a three-story block, consisting of a ground floor basement, with living quarters on the second and third floors. The main block was 64 ft on each side.
Arlington
Arlington, located in Natchez, Mississippi, is a historic Federal style estate that encompasses 55 acres and includes three significant buildings. Recognized for its historical value, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and declared a National Historic Landmark the following year. Despite a devastating fire that severely damaged the main house, leading to its inclusion on Mississippi's 10 most endangered historic places in 2009, Arlington remains a symbol of early 19th-century architecture.
Mississippi Backwoods
As you walk through the dense Mississippi woods, you come across a forgotten relic from a bygone era - an abandoned home that looks as though it has been frozen in time since the turn of the century. The wooden exterior of the house is weathered and aged, with missing boards revealing the skeletal framework beneath.
Cars
Leading in from the road is a Mercedes in pretty good shape. From there is an overgrown driveway littered by abandoned vehicles. Then out of nowhere, right there in the middle of the woods is the most hoarding house I have ever encountered. Every step inside was on top of something. Anything from trash to clothes to furniture. There were a lot of nice things left behind & you can tell it was once a nice place. With a little bit of a hoarding issue. At one point, one of us flipped a light switch & it came on! Below is a pic of it on/off.
Books
I loved the book shelves in this house & the fireplace was in the perfect spot.

Canal House
Sometimes there's just a house abandoned you stumble across. Except it's not 'just' a house. It was somebody's home. It was filled with life, laughter, struggle & love. There was so much personal stuff left behind here. I imagine they were grandparents & they were all but forgotten. There were pics of family, kids & grandkids. So much left behind. I don't post those personal memories. They belong to them.
