Loch Leven, Mississippi

Loch Leven is a ghost town in Wilkinson County, Mississippi, United States.

[1] Loch Leven began as a cotton plantation located directly on the Mississippi River.

The plantation was abandoned early in the Civil War, and its owner, S. Chase, was listed in Union Army records as "absent" but "loyal".

[6][7] An 8,000-acre (3,200 ha) parcel of private property called the Loch Leven Plantation surrounds the former settlement and is used for "maintenance, control, and preservation".

[8] East of the former settlement, the Loch Leven Plantation grows cotton, wheat and corn.
