THE JACKSON HOUSE

 

Andrew Jackson, Jr., commissioned the home to be build. It was called "Sea Song." The young Jackson was a poor manager of money, and the plantation was taken over by the Mississippi Parks Department and could only be used for a school or leased. The DeBlieux family held a 99 year lease which was sold in the late 1920's and the house burned to the ground about a year later. On the property currently is BUCCANEER STATE PARK located on South Beach Blvd. in Waveland, MS Two miles off U.S. 90 .

Currently the Historical Society of Hancock Co. and an archeologist from NASA are conducting an excavation of the property.
