History
Lea Springs is the site of a historic mansion of the same name. It was built by slaves in 1819 for Pryor Lea, who grew up in nearby Richland.[4] Lea became a politician in Tennessee and Texas, and he was a founding trustee of the University of Mississippi.[4] He died in 1879, and the house was remodeled as a resort in the 1880s.[4]
The mansion was designed in the Federal architectural style, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
