Waverley is a mansion, formerly a plantation house that became a historic house museum, in Clay County, Mississippi, ten miles east of West Point. Built in 1838, it is architecturally unique among Mississippi's antebellum mansions for its enormous octagonal cupola. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
