Windsor Ruins

"Quite a place in the woods. The columns were very well built with the metal tops. There is a plaque stating 3.5 million to stabilize the columns and replace stucco. All burned by accident."

"Even though the detailed history of the place wasn’t posted, just seeing how big the place was was fascinating."

"Definitely impressive - must have been an amazing house. Sad story with the home (the plantation owner died weeks after completing the house). It's currently undergoing renovations on the columns to keep them from decaying more so the fence keeps you from getting inside the home area, but they are still impressive."

"Glad they are spending the time, material and money to preserve what is left of the ruins. The red clay to the right is slick and sloppy. I don't recommend walking in it after a rain storm. But definitely walk to the back for a different perspective. Also there's some ruins here and there around the property in the woods. But be aware of snakes in the woods. Don't forget to visit the stairs that are at the Chapel at Alcorn University just south of the ruins"

"This is one of the most beautiful places to just sit in the silence of the whistling wind, and take in all of the beauty surrounding you. The day we visited, the only persons there, were two state police officers. They were there to make sure the ruins are not disturbed. An officer told us that someone had cut through the fence a few weeks earlier, and tried to knock over one of the columns. The other officer said they were going to be installing hidden cameras. I think that's a wonderful idea. The thoughts of someone ruining this beautiful place just infuriates me. This is history! It should be protected! We stayed for about 45 minutes. I just really wanted to take in all of the beauty. At one point I closed my eyes and I imagined what this beautiful place was like back in the day. Children laughing, beautiful decorations at Christmas time, the smell of fresh apple pie sitting on the windowsill. Heaven!"
