Refuge is an unincorporated community located in Washington County, Mississippi, United States.
[1] Refuge Landing was located west of the settlement, directly on the Mississippi River.
[2][3] Francis Griffin purchased land in 1831 on a high ridge bordering the Mississippi River where he established "Refuge Plantation".
[5] The Refuge Plantation House, shaded by oak trees and protected from the river by a levee system, was erected with a view of the river, and remains today one of the best examples of a mid-nineteenth-century plantation house in Washington County.
[7] In 2010, the Greenville Bridge was opened connecting Refuge with Shives, Arkansas.
