Situated on the banks of the Tombigbee River, this circa 1852 mansion has four self-supporting carved stairways that connect cantilevered balconies and an octagonal cupola. It is hailed as one of the finest examples of antebellum architecture, and is probably the most-toured private home in the South. Some of the home's original furnishings are still in place; English boxwoods planted at the entrance by the owner's wife are estimated at 150 years old. It is believed that the first American fox hunt association was formed at Waverly in 1893, in the mansion's library. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the mansion is open daily.
