Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Desert Plantation is a Southern plantation with a historic house located in Pinckneyville, Mississippi in the Tunica Hills.

History

The plantation was established by Robert Semple circa 1808.[1] By 1814, Semple acquired more acres, totalling 1,000 acres.[1] The Pinckneyville Creek flows through the plantation.[1]

The house was built from 1808 to 1812. It was designed in the Federal architectural style.[1] By 1845, Semple added a Greek Revival wing to the original structure.[1]

By 1885, the Semple family sold the plantation to C. H. Norman.[1] Norman in turn sold it to the McGehee and Merwin families, who co-owned an agricultural concern.[1] The house was purchased by D. F. Merwin in 1917, whose family still owned the house by 1987.[1]

Architectural significance

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 1, 1987.[2]
