Windsor Ruins, Port Gibson

This is one of the most beautiful places to just sit in the silence of the whistling wind, and take in all of the beauty surrounding you. The day we visited, the only persons there, were two state police officers. They were there to make sure the ruins are not disturbed. An officer told us that someone had cut through the fence a few weeks earlier, and tried to knock over one of the columns. The other officer said they were going to be installing hidden cameras. I think that's a wonderful idea. The thoughts of someone ruining this beautiful place just infuriates me. This is history! It should be protected! We stayed for about 45 minutes. I just really wanted to take in all of the beauty. At one point I closed my eyes and I imagined what this beautiful place was like back in the day. Children laughing, beautiful decorations at Christmas time, the smell of fresh apple pie sitting on the windowsill. Heaven!

The Windsor Ruins is a must stop to see in Port Gibson, Mississippi. This was once a beautiful plantation home but a fire destroyed it. It is here that a couple of motion pictures were filmed most notably "Ghosts of Mississippi". Although the ruins are fenced off due to some type of preservation, if you're in the area I highly recommend a quick stop here to see the ruins.
