General Information

Anchuca, a Choctaw Indian word meaning "happy home," is one of the most significant antebellum homes in Vicksburg. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this impressive Greek Revival landmark represents the first columned mansion in Vicksburg and the first historic home to become one of Mississippi's finest bed and breakfast inns. Surrounded by stately live oaks and located in the heart of Vicksburg's Historic District, Anchuca was built in 1830 by local politician J. W Mauldin. In 1847, Victor Wilson, a local coal and ice merchant, added the columned front and the two-story dependency in back.
Today, Anchuca's bold, impressive exterior gives way to an elegantly refined yet comfortably inviting interior. The home is handsomely furnished with fine antiques and art representing the late 1700s to the mid 1800s. Anchuca stands in grand tribute to the town's rich history and offers its guests a sensuous escape complete with a hearty dose of Southern hospitality.
