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!
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!
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!
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
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.
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. 👍❤️
