History

Stanton Hall was built circa 1857.  This preservation project of the Pilgrimage Garden Club of Natchez is one of the most magnificent and palatial residences of antebellum America.  The interior contains original furnishings and Natchez antiques, including hand-carved woodwork, silver-plated hinges and doorknobs and marble mantles.  The original owner was Frederick Stanton, a cotton broker who immigrated in 1815 to Natchez from Ireland at the age of 21, and became one of the richest men in Adams County. 

Hospitality

Natchez is celebrated for her Southern Hospitality.  The Stanton Hall staff specializes in catering to your every need.  We look forward to making your event one to remember.

Longwood, with its unusual octagonal shape and fantastic onion dome, began construction in 1860.  The Civil War interrupted Dr. Haller Nutt's magnificent plans, but his family continued to live in the finished area.

Today you can tour the home, inspect the unfinished interior for yourself, and view the grounds where Julia Nutt once tended to acres of roses.
Stanton Hall and Longwood are National Historic Landmarks.
