Wexford Lodge, Vicksburg National Military Park The Shirley House is the only surviving structure in Vicksburg National Military Park that was around during the Civil War. The house was built in the 1830s and was purchased by James and Adeline Shirley in 1851. When the fighting at Vicksburg began in May 1863, James and his daughter were stranded in Clinton, Mississippi, after the Union cut rail service to Vicksburg. Adeline and her son Quincy were the only ones at the house. The Confederates tried to burn it down so the Union could not use it, but the soldier who was sent to do the task was shot dead by Union troops that arrived at the same time.
