A long, wide stairway leads to the wrought-iron laced porch surrounding the main doorway of this magnificent mansion situated in the historic district of Vicksburg. Considered to be one of the finest examples of Palladian architecture in the state, it escaped destruction during and after the Civil War's siege by serving as a hospital for Confederate and Union soldiers.
Beneath its high ceilings and richly decorated walls of cardinal reds, deep blues and rich greens, the polished floors carry bloodstained marks from wounds. In one room, the ceiling beams show where a cannon-ball struck. Original works of art hang throughout and the mansion is furnished with a mix of antiques and comfortable furnishings.
Duff Green contains four luxurious bedrooms with amenities to satisfy the expectations of the most discerning visitor. All guest rooms have an individual character, working fireplaces and porches where guests can relax in the evening air. Guests may also enjoy the complimentary bar during happy hour in one of the elegant reception rooms and during the day can sunbathe on the secluded patio that surrounds a swimming pool.
