Description

History
The park was founded in 1973 when the Moor family donated their property to Mississippi for creating a living historical plantation site. The project aimed to document and preserve the ways of life connected to plantation culture in the region.
Culture
The park draws interest for its role as a filming location for the movie 'The Duel', which brought attention to the area. Visitors can experience how this space has become part of the region's entertainment history.
