The Heathman Plantation, also known as Dogwood Ridge Plantation and Billups Plantation, is a historical site that was a former cotton plantation in Heathman, Mississippi. It was founded in 1848 as a forced-labor operation worked by African American people enslaved by the land's white owners.[1]

History

The plantation is located at the intersection of Highway 82 and Heathman Road in Heathman near Indianola, Mississippi, in Sunflower County, Mississippi.[1][2][3] In 1848, James Brown built the Dogwood Ridge Plantation as an 8,000-acre cotton plantation.[1][2]

In 1871, James Martin Heathman, who was married to Lillie Brown, the daughter of James Brown, purchased the plantation.[1][2] He renamed it the Heathman Plantation.[2] He died in 1885.[1] Three years later, she married J. A. Crawford in 1888.[1]

It was later known as the Billups Plantation.[1]

Heritage significance

The commissary has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 14, 2012.[3]
