The history of antebellum plantations comes alive in Cedar Grove. At one time a 900-acre working plantation surrounded by others of the same, Cedar Grove is now a bed & breakfast with a lot of stories to tell.
There's an ancient family cemetery to discover. The original owner, Absalom Sharp, and much of his family is buried there.
The main house looks just as it did when Absalom and his wife, Clarissa, lived there.
There's also the "L-Shaped Building," which once housed the schoolroom for the Sharp children and others in the area. One of the rooms still holds the original kitchen fireplace where much of the food for the Sharp family was prepared.
Nature trails, forest, ponds, and fields now surround Cedar Grove instead of the many acres of cotton, money crops, and slave quarters. Solitude is a guarantee, and historic Natchez is just a few minutes' drive away. But if it's history you're looking for, you've come to the right place.
