From breathtaking spots hidden in nature to unique architecture, there are plenty of places in Mississippi that can be described as enchanting. One such destination is Airliewood in Holly Springs. The impressive home dates back to the 1800s and has some truly incredible history. I loved learning about the role it played in both local and national politics, but unfortunately, it can no longer be toured. Hopefully, what we’ve put together here allows you to feel like you’ve visited! It’s certainly worth experiencing given that it has been called “one of the most important historic restorations in the south.” It’s also been included in Mississippi Preservation’s list, “101 Places in Mississippi to See Before you Die,” making it a definite must-visit.

While Airliewood is no longer open for tours, consider taking a drive-by to see it for yourself.
