Cherry Grove Plantation, Colonial agricultural residence in Adams County, Mississippi.

Cherry Grove Plantation is a former agricultural estate in Adams County with a one-and-a-half-story main building featuring symmetrical side wings, octagonal bays, and a raised brick basement foundation. The property preserves multiple outbuildings including a detached kitchen, smokehouse, stables, and barns that reflect different periods of development.

Pierre Surget, a French planter and former seaman, built the first residence in 1788 on 2,500 acres of an English land grant confirmed by the Spanish government. His widow Catharine Hubbard Surget enlarged the grounds, and by 1850 their son James Pierre Surget held the house with sixteen house servants. The original house burned in the mid-nineteenth century; the present residence was built about 1865 by James Surget, Jr. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 1983.

The outbuildings include a rare tenpin frame bowling alley with an attached late-nineteenth-century gymnasium, plus a smoke house, detached kitchen, corn crib, stables, privy, sheep stalls and barns. Hand-hewn cypress troughs for feeding and watering stock survive, and the family cemetery with the graves of Pierre and Catharine Surget and their descendants stands within sight of the house.

The estate remains in agricultural operation and offers visitors insight into historical farming methods and handcraft techniques. The preserved cypress troughs and buildings show how people organized work in earlier times.

The Surget family has owned and operated the property continuously since its founding, making it one of the longest family-held estates in the region. This unbroken connection between the family and the land gives the place a rare historical continuity.
