A.K. Shaifer House

The house is currently closed. It doesn't say that anywhere until you take the dangerous 1.5 mile dirt and gravel road with no turn arounds to get to it. Do not take a car there. 4 wheel drive only and definitely no campers. Watch out for washed out roads. I do not recommend even going through the trouble unless it is dry and the house is reopened.

Well worth the trip although hard to get there. Must be 4WD if the weather is bad.

Very interesting to see.

this is a historic place that is unlike any other I have seen. first of all the road to it is worth the trip itself. maybe the best example of a sunken roadbed that you'll see. ok, really, its just an old wagon trail, but most cars and trucks will manage when it is dry. they have built a parking lot for it now too, so its not as hard to visit as it used to be. the house has been restored recently and is in good shape now. but still very spooky late in the afternoon, especially in the attic. very, very authentic. no population around it for miles. no sign other than your car that you are not right back in 1863. very beautiful old trees around it. visit and enjoy. don't mistreat, and above all, don't let fools know about it. stupid people don't read, so I am not worried about this tipping any of them off. years ago, it had spray painted vandalism all over it. now there is a caretaker, so it stays in good shape. history should never be forgotten, not even our nations own very ugly history.

Absolutely unreal! Bullet holes from the battle! You've got to visit this place! Hardly anyone knows about it. Road to it is not marked well. On route to Windsor from port Gibson keep left at first church on left and go several miles
