Sherman spending a night there during his raid in February 1864.[3][4]

Boler's Inn was designated a Mississippi Landmark on December 21, 2000. It is recognized for its historical and architectural significance.[2]

The inn is a two-story wood-frame building with Greek Revival influences. Originally featuring a dog-trot open center, it was later enclosed. The front porch boasts chamfered columns, and the interior retains its wood floors, walls, and ceilings.[3]
