Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, was a guest at the house in 1886 with his daughter Varina Anne Davis.[2][3] The exterior of the house appears in the Clint Eastwood-directed 1997 movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. John Cusack's character, John Kelso, is welcomed to town by the home's owner from one of its verandas. The gate in the fenced wall that Kelso walks through has since been removed.
