For two years, we restored a small 1908 foursquare home across the street from the Simmons House. During that time, we dreamed of becoming owners of this majestic property. One day that dream became a reality. Armed with our passion for historic structures and a love for this community, we endeavored to create a space that the citizens of Water Valley could be proud of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46c9c1c9a5b2421e3d31b9/1598562067415-5YWIJ1324Z30HQQDGZG4/Simmons_House_JimKeeley.jpg Our Story - Honor the history. It wasn’t until we began restoration, that we truly understood what this building meant for the community. Past owners came to us with stories - evenings together on the side porch, the meticulously maintained gardens that used to exist out back. We learned about Dr. William Simmons who completed construction of this home in 1871 but died only two years later. We honor his legacy and the impact he had in Yalobusha County.

The venue is named after the original owner, Dr. William Simmons, who completed construction in 1871. Dr. Simmons has been credited as one of the pioneers of Water Valley, and we wanted to honor the history of his contributions through the restoration of this home to its once-magnificent glory. Throughout the lengthy restoration process, former owners came to us with stories of evenings together on the side porch and the meticulously maintained gardens that used to exist out back.
