The historic mansion in Greenville, Mississippi is known as the Winterville Mounds. It was built by the Mississippians, a Native American civilization, around 1000 CE. The Winterville Mounds were used for both ceremonial and residential purposes.

During the colonial period, the mansion was owned by several prominent families, including the Easons, Youngs, and Davenports. It was named after Winterville Plantation, which was owned by the Young family. In the 1930s, the mansion was purchased by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and was eventually opened to the public as a historic site.
