The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The land southwest of Beulah was owned by a Choctaw family in the 1830s. A series of lawsuits caused them to lose their land, and Charles Clark took ownership. Clark established the Doro Plantation during the late 1840s and early 1850s, which grew to over 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) and became the most prosperous slave-owning plantation in the region. It continued to operate after the end of slavery until 1913. During that time, the Mississippi River flowed next to Beulah along "Beulah Bend" (now Lake Beulah), and Clark was often visited by Mark Twain while writing Life on the Mississippi.

Nothing in Beulah is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Beulah has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Grace Episcopal Church in Rosedale, 5.3 miles away.
