George Austin McHenry House
The George Austin McHenry House is located in Stone County, Mississippi. It was constructed between 1895 and 1901 to serve as the family home of Dr. George McHenry. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
==Background==
In 1889, Dr. George McHenry and his wife, Una, led a group of 54 families from Michigan to homestead in northern Harrison County, Mississippi.〔Mauldin, Dolores McHenry. 1991. George Austin McHenry. ''Journal of Mississippi History'' 53(1):35–43.〕 They settled in an area which would become part of Stone County, where the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad was under construction. George McHenry opened a general store and also handled the U.S. mail. A small town developed with timber-related industries that prospered because of the vast virgin pine forests of south Mississippi. A Post Office opened under the name of McHenry in honor of the settlement's founder. While Dr. McHenry was in military service during the Spanish–American War, his wife oversaw the construction and expansion of their family home.〔(Old Firehouse Museum Articles ) Retrieved 2013-09-15〕
