The 12 Best Things to Do in Natchez, Mississippi in 2025

"I was impressed by Stanton Hall's scale and grounds — the estate occupies an entire city block and had the prettiest grounds of the homes I visited. Built in the 1850s (for $83,000 USD) as a replica of the owner's former home in Ireland and nicknamed Belfast, its interior is elaborately detailed with Italian marble and glass chandeliers; the property later housed Stanton College for Young Ladies and transitioned to a museum by 1940. It's on the National Register and is a National Historic Landmark as well as a Mississippi Landmark; it's open daily with tours beginning at 9am (45–60 minutes) and the last tour at 3pm. Admission is $25 USD." - Matthew Kepnes
