Rosemont, Historical plantation residence in Wilkinson County, United States.
The Federal-style plantation house features a one-and-a-half-story structure with cypress clapboard construction and a central Palladian dormer window.
Samuel and Jane Davis constructed Rosemont in 1810, which served as the childhood home of Jefferson Davis until their relocation to Kentucky.
The interior displays Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements, containing original Davis family furnishings, including their four-poster bed and portraits.
Visitors can explore the property Monday through Saturday from March to December 15, including the Davis family cemetery among tall oaks.
The plantation, initially named Poplar Grove, received its current name in the 1830s due to Jane Davis's extensive rose gardens.
