My mom was the director of this with the national parks in the late 90’s, and dad worked with the maintenance dept. very special mansion with a great history.

Excellent tour! The McMurrans lived in our home in Natchez (Holly Hedges) for 16 years prior to moving into their dream home of Melrose. Small udpate... John McMurran actually died in New Orleans. The steamboat Fashion caught fire near Baton Rouge. Mr. McMurran jumped into the water trying to get ashore but was injured and taken to New Orleans but died shortly before his wife Mary arrived. Thanks for sharing this incredibly special and historic home with your viewers!

I wemt on a tour in June 2022 and at that time it was free. The Ranger, who gave us our tour was amazing! She knew everything about that house and the furniture. It was a very exciting and informative tour!

I'm really enjoying this series of Natchez Plantations, the architecture is beautiful

Great and Beautiful place! It makes me feel so good to see these gorgeous places restored to their former glory. Yes I know they were made possible by the work of slaves< but a lot of people just want to sweep it under the carpet as if it didn’t exist, but it did. It was wrong but we can’t just ignore it. There other atrocities that happened after the Civil War that shouldn’t be forgotten either. Thank you for the video of such a wonderful restoration.

That is a stunner of a Greek revival house! You can imagine the architect spaced the front columns in such a way as to not block the magnificent doors on both galleries

Had the honor of visiting several times in the 80s when it was held by a prominent local family who maintained it - near perfect state of preservation down to the original fabrics and tarnished gilt. It was a real gem in those days ❤

Sir, the Birds… … the South is mighty “Hot”… great efforts were taken to show hospitality and to cool off! I told my mama… how much I really enjoyed staying with her older sister… What a gift my mama gave me! My mama… was adopted… her Scottish Parents couldn’t raise her… My mama sent me to her sister … my mama knew me so well… my mama was killed… 11 December 2005. My mama is with me every day, deep inside my heart. Thank you sir!

Thank you for the tour! I visited The Hermitage last month, definitely worth the trip, it was fabulous.

Oh, you took my breath away! Fantastic! Thank you so very much! Your skill at editing, videoing, taking in every corner, height… sent me straight back in time to 1974! My first visit to Biloxi, Mississippi! Compare… New Port Rhode Island or New York City or even Baltimore… no way… only “Home” in the South… if you see my pale skin, my blue eyes… you would know I’m Russian, Scotland, Haps Birg… but of the Land! Thank you! Nurse Jane, Deale, MD 20751

The wood toy bouncy seats are called joggeling boards & they were very popular in Charleston, SC. Im loving your tours. Ive been to Natchez & loved it!

I watch another channel called Restoration Nation, and they spend a lot of time focusing on Natchez. Beautiful place ❤

Keep up the drone footage. I love it.
Can you go to Savannah soon? I enjoy the relaxed way you communicate 😊

Thanks for the extensive tour! I love the Anti- Bellum homes, and had planned to visit Natchez years ago, but canceled due to the racial climate in Mississippi. I had planned to stay in Dunlieth, which is a bed and breakfast. Natchez is truly a historical monument to the way of life in the South during the pre- Civil War era. 👍❤️

Excellent video- had never heard before Natchez was the Beverly Hills of the South! Could almost smell the magnolias all the way here!!😁
