This was the location of the home of Choctaw Chief Puckshunubbee, an important Choctaw chief, and later of Major David W. Haley, a War of 1812 veteran and early pioneer in central Mississippi. In addition to the site's historic associations, it also contains a late Mississippian Period burial mound upon which was later located the Haley family cemetery. The Puckshunubbee Site is the only documented residence of one of the principal Choctaw chiefs in the state. |
