Van Dorn House

(Located one-half mile to the east)
Originally named "The Hill," this house was built by Peter Aaron Van Dorn, ca. 1828. Located on one of Port Gibson's highest hills, the brick and cypress house was constructed from the resources presumed to be local. Distinctive features of the house are the Venetian slates above the windows to help control the air in the house , and the thirty-four windows containing over 800 panes of glass.
