Spring Pilgrimage in Aberdeen, Mississippi
Aberdeen’s rich history can be found on every corner. It is one of the most architecturally rich cites in the south from its homes and buildings to our Old Aberdeen Cemetery which is the final resting place of many of the fallen from the war between the states. The variety of homes range from antebellum mansions and cottages to Victorian homes. Last years tour of homes homes ranged from 1840 to 1902. Our delightful homeowners welcome you to visit.
Make sure you see them all! In the deep south where cotton was king, Aberdeen, Mississippi was one of many towns created to please the wives of the large plantation owners. The rich black soil that surrounds Aberdeen was perfect for the formation of some of the most successful cotton plantations in the entire south. Seeing Aberdeen now makes it hard to believe it was once the second largest city in Mississippi and one the wealthiest in the south.
