The Van Dorn House is a historic hilltop residence in Port Gibson, Mississippi built circa 1830 for Peter Aaron Van Dorn and which became the childhood home of his son, who became a U.S. Army officer then Confederate Major General Earl Van Dorn. A historic marker onsite gives the home's date as ca. 1830 and the style as Federal architecture. The residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1971, and the house and surrounding 5.1 acres donated to the State of Mississippi Department of Archives and History by December 1972. In 1979 a revised site survey due to development of the surrounding area expanded the historically relevant site to about 20 acres. The house is located on Van Dorn Drive.
