Built in 1862, this home is beautiful AND it has a very rich history. This home is located within the historical district in downtown Bolivar. You can reach it quite easily by turning beside Sonic and passing through a few stop signs. McNeal Place was built due to the death of the only daughter of the original owner, Ezekiel K.

This is another place I have been to numerous times. The history of these places is truly fascinating so I will share the true stories before I discuss the local legends. Purdy was once the county seat of McNairy County and home to Purdy University. The area surrounding Purdy Cemetery and Hurst Mansion was once referred to as “Hurst Nation”.
