The Cedars, Greek Revival house in Clinton, US.

The Cedars is a one-story frame house in Clinton, Mississippi, built as a Greek Revival cottage. It stands on a 5-acre property named for a grove of more than fifty cedar trees. The simple, spacious cottage form was once common in Mississippi.

The exact construction date is unknown: land records show a structure on the site by 1839, and architectural evidence places the house between 1835 and 1850. Pioneer settlers Minerva Fitz Morgan and Jacob B. Morgan owned the original property, and the house changed hands at least five times in its first twenty years. In 1859 Emile Menger, a music professor at Mississippi College, arrived from Germany and took possession; the Mengers sold to Patrick Henry Eager in 1903, and the Eager family kept the house for 72 years until the Curries bought and restored it in 1975.

The name changed from "Cedar Grove" to "The Cedars" after 1903, when Mrs. Eager avoided confusion with her family home of the same name in Aberdeen, Mississippi. The house was opened to the public during Clinton's Bicentennial Pilgrimage in 1976 and appears on the "Walking Tour of Historic Clinton".

The Cedars is a private residence and is not open to the public, so it can only be seen from the street. It appears on Clinton's "Walking Tour of Historic Clinton", and it was opened to the public once, during Clinton's Bicentennial Pilgrimage in 1976.
