ARTichoke Gift Store
Visit many local shops in the historical Belhaven area of Jackson, MS. The Greater Belhaven area takes its name from a palatial home, which once stood on Boyd Street, east of Jefferson. The spacious colonial structure was the residence of Col. Jones S. Hamilton, and named "Belhaven" -- beautiful house -- after the Hamilton family seat in Scotland. |
