Visited during a special event with reenactors, period sutlers, lectures and tours of the facility. It was very educational and fun to visit and see the demonstrations. Jefferson College any time of the year is a step back into history especially for those who follow military history.

It is very interesting to see this old school and grounds. Have to say though that I went because of seeing it on The North and The South. It is The movie set for West Point for George and Ory.

Beautiful old college. Nice little museum in the Admin building. Plus, John Wayne filmed part of The Horse Soldier here.

This College was featured in "The Horse Soldiers". A great walking tour of the buildings is provided at the Visitor's Center.

Hard to realize this place is still here and looks just like the scenes filmed there about the cadets assisting in the defense of Vicksburg in the John Wayne movie "The Horse Soldiers" Almost expected to hear the Duke himself.

I took a tour if this with my son's school group several years ago. I highly recommend it. Very historical and entertaining.

This is a prep school for boys in the late 1800's, the buildings and grounds are well worth the stop, take water if its hot.

While it's nice to know that several movies were filmed here and several important people attended (Jefferson Davis), there isn't many displays yet. The good part is that we watched another movie being filmed while we were here!

This is a beautifully restored Military College of the early 1800's. Lovely to walk in. The bookstore is filled with great historical reading materials. The museum is quite modern and most interesting with Civil War memoribilia. North and South filmed the West Point scenes here
