Holly Grove Plantation House, Plantation house in Hinds County, Mississippi, United States

Holly Grove Plantation House is a c. 1830 post-and-beam dwelling near Old Bridgeport Road in Hinds County, moved there from Red Lick in 1990. Its full-width front gallery and center hall with two rooms per side follow a plan later enlarged c. 1850 with a rear dining wing, breezeway and side galleries. The frame mixes Federal and Greek Revival details, with a fanlight and sidelights around double paneled front doors.

Holly Grove Plantation House was built c. 1830 by Noel and Jane Killingsworth near Red Lick, Mississippi, from a kit manufactured in Cincinnati and shipped down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Rodney, then hauled by wagon. The house stayed in the Killingsworth family until 1990, when it was dismantled and rebuilt 70 miles (110 km) north along the Old Bridgeport Road in Hinds County by its present owner, Alan Huffman. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

The walls inside contain handwritten notes, poems, and personal records dating from 1870 onward, showing how families marked their lives in this home. These writings reveal the everyday thoughts and moments of people who lived here across many years.

The house stands on Old Bridgeport Road, a registered Mississippi Landmark, at its 1990 reconstruction site in Hinds County. It is a private residence, so there is no visitor access or guided tour; the structure is seen from the road. The post-and-beam frame with Roman-numeral markings is best understood from the exterior and published photographs.

The house was shipped as a kit from Cincinnati, probably by Hinkle, Guild & Co., down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Rodney, then hauled by wagon to Red Lick with the maker's own crew. The poplar, spruce and fir frame carries Roman numerals so interchangeable parts fit together; the sills were hewn on site.
