Vaiden Cleanup and Restoration

WHEN WATER-FIRE-STORM DAMAGES HAPPENS IN VAIDEN, WE'RE READY.

Vaiden was founded about 1857 and named after Dr. Cowles Mead Vaiden (04/21/1812 – 02/06/1880), a local doctor, planter, and philanthropist. In the late 1850s, Dr. Vaiden gave the right-of-way through his land for construction of the last span of the Central Railroad, in order to connect the state capital, with other cities. Around the railroad’s completion in 1857, the population that had settled at the former Choctaw Indian town of Shongalo was moved to the east, to allow for better access to the railroad.

The new town was named in honor of Dr. Vaiden, and was made a regular stop on the railroad line. For that reason, it was designated as the county seat of Carroll County. Vaiden was incorporated on February 10, 1860. With additional development of population in the county, residents wanted to have access to a town closer to the Mississippi River.

Vaiden Courthouse
At least the third courthouse built in Vaiden, each one was built on a different spot. The present courthouse was completed in 1989, the bell out front was from the old courthouse which stood where the Children’s Park now stands.

Noah House
The house was built in 1875, the year after the first courthouse of the 2nd district and Shongalo Presbyterian Church were built down at the bottom of the hill on which this house sits.[Don’t you know those were exciting times for the little town of Vaiden!]
The house stayed in the McConnico family until it was bought by Vernon and Margaret Anderson in 1946. Then the house was purchased by Bobby Noah in 1996.

Heritage House
This beautiful 1910 Victorian home is now a Bed and Breakfast. Retired educator, Rubye Miller, bought the house in 1995. and has restored it to its original glory.

Vaiden Cemetery
The Vaiden Cemetery is one of the oldest in Mississippi. It has graves of Confederate soldiers and many unusual tombstones, including the monument of the “weeping lady.”
