If you visit Natchez, you MUST do this! On our road trip through 7 Southern states, this carriage…read moretour was one of our highlights. I came across this tour company on a Natchez travel site and I'm so glad I did. There was four of us, including my husband who is always hesitant to take a guided tour and two teenagers. We all loved it so much and are still talking about it. This tour is so much more than your average tourist trap carriage ride. When we arrived in Natchez on a hot Friday in July, the town seemed deserted. I became worried that maybe due to covid, the tours wouldn't be available. But when we turned the corner of canal and state street, there was the horse and carriage, just waiting for us. The tour takes roughly an hour. The driver is an authentic local who has lived in Natchez all his life. He is so nice and very funny! The horse is a Haflinger, small but strong and smart enough to know the route. Also adorable and clearly well taken care of. We received a history tour of Natchez, as we crisscrossed the city and saw many of the historic mansions (there are antebellum, colonial and Victorian homes here, several hundred altogether). We also learned about the lady's garden club aka the blue haired mafia and the elephant that arrived here as a royal present and escaped to stampede through town drunk (really!) . We also received recommendations for further sight seeing and for dinner in Natchez. We were even introduced to other people that the driver knew along the way. One lady came to the carriage with free fans because it was so hot. Southern hospitality at its finest! Since we were only in Natchez for a short time, the tour helped us get a real sense of the city. The tour is limited to 6-10 people at a time at the most but frequently you will have your own private tour. Carriage is very clean and you are outdoors the whole time. The carriage has a canopy to keep you out of the sun. We felt very safe! I believe we paid 20 dollars a person, and it was worth every penny. Natchez is so beautiful, I want to come back when times are more normal and tour some of the mansions.

Paid Monmouth Inn for a carriage ride but when I tried to use the tickets at 10 a.m., I was told by…read morea man sitting and doing nothing on a park bench next to the empty carriage and horse, that he has to wait for the next Cruise line to show up in 2 hours and he can't do it at all today. I asked 'Can't you give us a half-hour ride before they turn up?' He replied 'no' and continued to sit on the bench with his friend. I had to leave the next day so my money was gobbled up by Southern Carriage and Monmouth, both pretty sizable disappointments. Enjoy my money--you won't get any business from me or my friends and family in the future.

We chose Choctaw Hall for our stay in Natchez partly because of its location to the various…read morehistoric trails and to the river and partly because of the idea of staying in a "townhouse" from 1836. Our room was very comfortably appointed with a roomy en suite. The common room just outside our door provided 24-hour coffee and other drinks plus snacks. We had our morning coffee and evening drinks outside while we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and magnificent oak trees. Lee gave us the tour of the house as David's voice is giving out. While the house is beautiful, the contents are what make it unique and fascinating. David and Lee are excellent hosts - helpful but not intrusive. The coupons for breakfast at two different nearby restaurants added to the enjoyment - both restaurants were an easy walk and both were delicious. Additionally, several restaurants (try the po-boy at Wardos) nearby were delicious. Choctaw Hall was the perfect location for walking old Natchez and "below the hill" while enjoying the ambience of an historic Natchez townhouse. We had a memorable stay.

There were about five or six stops on the tour. Scott was incredibly knowledgeable both about Natchez history and paranormal investigation.. I knew nothing about it and learned a lot, but my girlfriend, who is very interested in the subject, also enjoyed it. So something for everybody.. He also recommended a few bars and restaurants we could enjoy for afterwards. The tour starts at 7:00, and Scott's recommendation which I agree with is to eat before. For some bizarre reason, most restaurants in Natchez seem to close at 9:00 p.m., even on a saturday. Tours are $25 and he takes cash app, cash on site, or you can pre-register.. I tipped him well and you should also!

They finally replied to my email on Tue Jan 13th, 3 days after my visit. The phone call was never returned. It's probably a good thing, since I saved several hundred dollars. If this is the way they treat new business, I can only image how bad the tour experience would have been. I would suggest finding another company to book a tour when visiting Natchez, MS.

Auburn Plantation…read more We toured this house during the "Hope Restoration Project". The tour was amazing. So much history and the house is absolutely stunning! Here's a little history lesson. In 1811, Lyman Harding, the first Attorney General of Mississippi, hired Levi Weeks to build the mansion. Levi designed the house to be, in his words, the "most magnificent building in the state." After Harding died in 1820, the building was bought by Dr. Stephen Duncan. Here's a little history on Dr. Duncan,... He was born and studied medicine in Pennsylvania, but moved to Natchez in 1808 and became the wealthiest cotton planter and the second-largest slave owner in the U.S. with over 2,200 slaves. He owned 15 cotton and sugar plantations, served as President of the Bank of Mississippi, and held major investments in railroads and lumber. He became an influential Mississippi backer of the American Colonization Society, which promoted the removal of freed American blacks to Liberia, a colonial settlement in West Africa. Under his leadership during the 1830s, the Mississippi Colonization Society removed 571 African-Americans to Liberia. He was a steadfast Unionist during the American Civil War. He tried unsuccessfully to lobby the Lincoln Administration to help him protect his slaveholdings after the Union army occupied large swaths of Mississippi. But appeals from Duncan and his family members largely went unheeded. In late 1863, he left the Confederacy by Union gunboat and relocated to New York City where he lived until his death in 1867. Auburn and 222 acres was sold by the family to the city of Natchez in 1911 and is now a historic house museum in a public park.

I was able to get some shots of the outdoors. They had a few items for sale in the gift shop referring to the 200th anniversary of Lafayette making his tour around all of the states (that were part of the union at that time), but no reference as to what his connection is with the house. No photos allowed in the home. At one family photo downstairs, the guide was talking about a family photo and that there were two boys and four girls and pointed out the infant and said it was a boy even though it was wearing a dress. It was a christening gown. It was not dressed as a girl. She kept making unpleasant faces as she was talking about it. Grow up. Do better.

Rosalie Mansion and Gardens "Our Mansion on the Bluff" In 1716, the French built a fort on the bluffs of Natchez and named it Rosalie in honor of the Countess of Pontchartrain. In 1819 Peter Little (age 17) purchased a portion of that land to build his home. He decided to keep the name Rosalie in honor of the fort and its settlers. He also purchased large areas of land in Louisiana and frequently used the ferryboat at Natchez Under-the-Hill to cross the Mississippi River to check on it. He developed a strong friendship with ferryboat owner Jacob Lowe and his family. In 1806, yellow fever quickly took Jacob's life; soon after, his wife contracted it. Knowing that her death was near, she sent for Peter and pleaded with him to take care of Eliza (her daughter). Peter took Eliza in and did what he felt best for her - he married her. At the time Peter was 25, and Eliza 14, so marriage was in name only. Rosalie was completed in 1823. Peter and Eliza moved into their new home. In 1816 Eliza helped establish the Natchez Children's Home, and many of those children found a loving home at Rosalie. By all accounts, Peter and Eliza remained deeply devoted to each other throughout their 45 year marriage. Unfortunately, in 1853 at the age of 60, Eliza died of yellow fever. Three years later Peter died at the age of 74 without a valid will, thus forcing an auction of the estate. On July 13, 1863, a week after the Siege of Vicksburg, U.S. Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant took possession of the mansion to use as a headquarters. On August 26, 1863, General Walter Q. Gresham took command of U.S. troops at Natchez. His headquarters remained at Rosalie.
