Boler's Inn is a historic building located on Jackson Road in Union, Newton County, Mississippi, United States. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in east-central Mississippi.

History[edit]

Boler's Inn was constructed around 1835 by Wesley Boler, a prominent figure in the area. It served as a stagecoach stop and hotel along the Jackson to Montgomery road.^[2] During the American Civil War, it played a significant role, with General William T. Sherman spending a night there during his raid in February 1864.^[3]

Boler's Inn was designated a Mississippi Landmark on December 21, 2000. It is recognized for its historical and architectural significance.^[2]

Architecture[edit]

The inn is a two-story wood frame building with Greek Revival influences. Originally featuring a dog-trot open center, it was later enclosed. The front porch boasts chamfered columns, and the interior retains its wood floors, walls, and ceilings.^[3]
