History

The mansion was built for David Williams in 1800. Later, the house was inherited by Maria McIntosh Williams, the wife of Winthrop Sargent (1753-1820), who served as the first Governor of the Mississippi Territory from 1798 to 1801. Sargent expanded the house and its gardens in 1808. It was then inherited by their son, George Washington Sargent, who was killed inside the house by Union forces in the American Civil War of 1861-1865.

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 7, 1976.
