Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for the past 25 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships, working for The Royal Obsession and Anatomie clothing. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as Parents & Kids Magazine and Girl Meets Strong. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
When describing a library, enchanting is probably the last word that comes to mind, but that’s just because you haven’t seen the J.Z. George Library in North Carrollton. The historic library can be found on the grounds of the Cotesworth plantation, and like something straight from the pages of a fairy tale, it’s practically overflowing with charm. Take a look:
Originally an inn, Cotesworth was transformed into a residence in 1847 when it was purchased by local lawyer and future U.S. senator, J.Z. George.
Cotesworth is located at 6337 MS Highway 17 in North Carrollton, Mississippi. The home, along with J.Z. George library, is open for tours. For more information, click here or call (662) 237-9600.
