Duff Green Mansion
Built in 1856 by wealthy cotton broker Duff Green, the Duff Green Mansion in historic Vicksburg, Mississippi, is a majestic Palladian-style antebellum home. During the grueling 47-day Siege of Vicksburg in 1863, the mansion served as a dual-designated military hospital for both Confederate and Union casualties, saving it from destruction by artillery shells. Today operating as a luxury bed and breakfast, the mansion is famous across the American South for phantom soldiers, bloodstains that seep through heart-pine floorboards, and ghostly encounters in its historic bedrooms.
