From our "First White House of the Confederacy" booklet is a list of Jefferson Davis historic sites, compiled by Mrs.Napier. How many of these have you visited? We would enjoy your comments. I have been to several and would very much like to visit the others.
His birthplace at Fairview, Kentucky. House (gone), Obelisk built there as a shrine
His boyhood home, Rosemont Plantation, Woodville, MS
Brierfield Plantation, Warren County, near Vicksburg, MS (house gone)
Married to Varina Howell, at The Briers, Natchez MS
The First White House of the Confederacy, Montgomery AL
The Second White House in Richmond VA (they don't call it "second" but we do!)
