Mississippi is full of secret sites and lesser known locales. Usually, these unknown spots are remotely located. Sometimes, though, they’re hiding right under our nose. And that’s exactly the case with a charming little chapel in Columbus. Take a look:

Columbus boasts one of the largest collections of 19th century homes in Mississippi.

The fact that Rosewood Manor isn’t open to the public on a regular basis means that most people will never see the stunning home – or the chapel on its grounds.

The last time Rosewood Manor was opened to the public was in March for Columbus' Spring Pilgrimage. Currently, the home is up for sale, so it’s not known when it will be open again.
