Cedar Grove Place (also known as The Cedars) is a historic building in Church Hill, Jefferson County, Mississippi.[1][2][3]

Overview

This property has had many owners.

  • Cedar Grove Place was created by James G. Wood for his daughter Maria Louisa Wood and her husband Thomas Elam as a 120-acre farm and residence with the same name.[2][4] The 120-acre tract was previously part of the 1,087-acre Plains Plantation owned by Joseph Dunbar.[2]
  • Benjamin Bevin reunited Cedar Grove Place with Plains Plantation.[2] In 1854 he purchased Plains Plantation from David Hunt, and in 1858 he purchased Cedar Grove Place from the Elam family.[2][4] In 1860 Mr. Beavin owned 84 slaves in Jefferson County.[5]
  • Adaline Balch bought the 120-acre Cedar Grove Place in 1873 after Mr. Bevin died.[2]
  • In 1938 it was purchased by Josephine Balfour Payne, who wrote children's stories, and her husband Earl Payne from Jeannie L. Bisland.[2]
  • Jane A. Warren purchased the property in 1972.[2]
  • It was bought by actor George Hamilton in 1978.[2]
  • A Hare Krishna commune occupied the property after George Hamilton.[2]

The residence on the property began in about 1830 as a farmhouse and was greatly expanded during Mr. Bevin's ownership.[2] The architectural style is at once Greek Revival and Federal.[1][6]

Cedar Grove Place has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 28, 1979.[3]
