Temple Gemiluth Chassed (c. 1891.) This beautiful Moorish Revival structure is the oldest Jewish Synagogue in the state and the only surviving building of Moorish style in Mississippi. By appointment only. The Jewish Community began to arrive in Port Gibson in the 1840’s from Germany and France and became successful merchants. The Jewish Cemetery, the Bernheimer House, and Drake Hill neighborhood are other examples of Jewish heritage in Port Gibson.
