History
Lea Springs was the site of a historic mansion of the same name. It was built by slaves in 1819 for Pryor Lea, who grew up in nearby Richland. Lea became a politician in Tennessee and Texas, and he was a founding trustee of the University of Mississippi. He died in 1879, and the house was remodeled as a resort in the 1880s.

The mansion was designed in the Federal architectural style, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was demolished in 2008 and the property was de-listed in 2023.
