Mitchell Farms Historic Cabin and Buildings
(click images on this page for larger view)
Mitchell Farms is located along the historic Three-Chopped-Way Trail running east and west, and the equally historic Old Jackson Military Road headed north.
The Mitchell's old log cabin was built more than 100 years ago. It has been maintained through the years, and is filled 
today with fascinating memorabilia, and may be toured on weekends. The cabins, barns, a fir-real outhouse and other buildings on our land have been built from our own timber and sawed on our saw mill. After hurricane Katrini, the cabin was built from cedar, pine, and oak trees felled by the storm. We offer group tours for adult groups as well as schools by reservation (call (601) 765-8609). The tours are $5 per person, reservations are required, and we will adjust the length to meet your schedule. Cabins may be toured Monday through Saturday year round.
Visitors will discover a rich glimpse into life in days gone by, as the cabin has a superb collection of cooking utensils, antiques,
photographs, rope beds, and patch work quilts. Adult group tours are often led by owner Nelda Mitchell, who provides a fascinating, hands-on tour of the artifacts and items throughout the farm, along with interesting personal stories related to their use. The property also has other historic buildings, including the play house and an outhouse.
Guests will also see a number of wood carvings and art pieces which have been created by Nelda Mitchell, and we encourage you to ask her about her work. Each piece has a story, and Nelda will be happy to share whenever time allows.
