History

Boler's Inn was constructed around 1835 by Wesley Boler, a prominent figure in the area. It served as a stagecoach stop and hotel along the Jackson to Montgomery road. [2] During the American Civil War, it played a significant role, with General William T. Sherman spending a night there during his raid in February 1864. [3]

Boler's Inn was designated a Mississippi Landmark on December 21, 2000. It is recognized for its historical and architectural significance. [2]

Architecture

The inn is a two-story wood-frame building with Greek Revival influences. Originally featuring a dog-trot open center, it was later enclosed. The front porch boasts chamfered columns, and the interior retains its wood floors, walls, and ceilings. [3]
