Historic Preservation

Here are several of the buildings that have been restored in an effort to preserve important segments of Lincoln County history.

Foster-Smith Log Cabin

• Built about 1820 in Beauregard, a community just above Lincoln County. It was moved by to Brookhaven in the 1950's by Andrew and Monelle Smith to save it from destruction. This Cabin was willed to The Brookhaven Trust by the Smiths and was relocated during the mid 1990's to Railroad Park for use in public events and historic education

.

Lampton Auditorium

• Built in 1913 on Whitworth College Campus. After years of neglect and slow deterioration it was restored to its former condition and open to the public in 1999. It is now the Mississippi School of the Arts, which opened in August 2003 with the restoration of the remaining Whitworth buildings in progress.

The Brookhaven Depot

• Built in 1907. It sits downtown Brookhaven and still in use with restored exterior and roof tiles.  It now is the Military Memorial Museum.
