FP Update 2/19 Magnolia Hall-Natchez, MS

Today with the temperature barely reaching 29 degrees here in the South, we decided to visit one more Antebellum home. Unlike the other mansions we visited, the original millionaire owner was actually from Natchez.
Our guide said it well when she captured that the size of the homes built in this area during the1800s, displayed their wealth. The bigger the better.

The original owner (cotton grower) Mr. Henderson, like the others died only a few years after completion. And he too went broke after the civil war. A continuous theme. Had a few owners but in the end was a school for about 10 years. It was eventually restored by the Natchez Garden Club as a house museum and hosts parties and weddings.

The fun part of this tour is you can try on period costumes. Of course, I participated 😆Read more
