John Ford Home, Historical house in Marion County, Mississippi.
The John Ford Home stands as a 2.5-story structure near Sandy Hook, constructed with elevated frontier-style architecture along the Pearl River Valley.
Built in 1812, the residence served as a military post during territorial conflicts and hosted General Andrew Jackson before the Battle of New Orleans.
The property witnessed two Mississippi Methodist Conferences in 1814 and 1818, reflecting the early religious development of the Mississippi Territory.
The Marion County Historical Society maintains the 6-acre property, offering visitors access to this National Register of Historic Places site by appointment.
The residence contained one of the first post offices in the Mississippi Territory, with John Ford serving as postmaster until his death in 1826.
