Things to see and do Natchez

The only house of Byzantine influence on the banks of Mississippi. This octagonal house of red bricks and white woodwork is topped by a dome shaped by bulbs, such as Orthodox churches. Originally the house had to have six floors, but construction was interrupted by the war of Secession and the poor doctor Nutt, owner, died of pneumonia and grief without having seen his dream completed. His descendants lived on both floors of the house for a hundred years. Now classified as a historic monument, the house is worth a visit.

This Georgian-style residence dates back to 1820 and served as headquarters for unionists during the occupation. With a guide in costume, we go back to the past, watching antique furniture, original fabrics, beautiful fabrics and beautiful views over the Mississippi from the porch and the balcony. Do not miss the garden, romantic and very well maintained.

The cemetery, whose first graves date back to 1821, houses more than 3 000 soldiers and many local personalities. Head to the section indicated as "Avenue of Directors" to go to the confederate tombs. Car traffic is permitted there. For a guided tour, contact the Visitor center in Natchez.
