 Southern Standard of November 12, 1852, carried a lengthy description of the mansion and of a "great festive entertainment" which had occurred during the previous week. An architectural evaluation headed the article:
. . . Our townsman. Colonel Charles McLaran, recently had erected on one of the most eligible and beautiful situations within the limits of our city, a splendid and costly brick mansion, the crowning architectural structure among the many stately edifices, private and public, that adorn our city, and delight the eye of the stranger en passant, - and which, in dimensions and external grandeur - internal arrangements, style and exquisit [sic] finish is, probably, superior to anything of the kind to be found in the Southern States."

Columbus Pilgrimage: Our Start

By Shannon Evans • 19 Feb, 2024
Discover the rich history of the Columbus Spring Pilgrimage, inspired by the success of the Natchez Garden Club Spring Pilgrimage. During the Great Depression, the Galaxy Garden Club of Columbus planted wisteria vines along highways in anticipation of hosting an event. Envoys from the Pioneer Club visited Natchez to gather ideas and returned with a vision of showcasing Columbus' antebellum homes. The first Columbus Spring Pilgrimage coincided with the Mississippi Federation of Music Clubs' convention in 1940. The event gained attention through a special tour for Associated Press Travel Writers. Today, the Columbus Spring Pilgrimage continues, featuring historic homes like Camellia Place, Wisteria Place, Baskerville Manor, and more. Join the upcoming tour from April 2-13, 2024, to support the restoration of these homes. Tickets available online and at the Columbus Visitor's Bureau.
