Stanton Hall

Our first visit to a Natchez Antebellum mansion. Our tour guide, Judy, was delightful, entertaining and knowledgeable. The mansion, now owned by one of the Natchez garden clubs, is beautiful and well maintained. Interestingly, when the garden club first acquired the mansion (1938, I think) it had little to no furniture but through hard work and generous donors (some of whom relatives of the original owner) the mansion has beautiful period furniture much of which is original to the home. Worth the visit.

This was well worth our time. The home is absolutely beautiful! We also enjoyed learning about the history of the home. The price for tickets were reasonable. The tour guide, Barbara did a wonderful job showing the home and answering our questions. Judy, the gift shop lady was super friendly. I would recommend stopping here if you are in town and have the time.

Our tour guide was polite, clear, and helpful. The tour was informative, fun, and gorgeous. The story is sad, but it reminds us to not rely on treasures of this earth. We don't get to enjoy them for long.

We went as a group so we had a tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable but quite difficult to listen to because his voice stayed at the same pitch, so it got boring. The Hall was incredible, the doors to the rooms were ginormous. It's great to hear some original pieces of furniture had made there was back. It must have been some house in its day. Fantastic wallpaper.

If you enjoy antebellum homes, you will enjoy this. Nicely maintained. Decent was extremely knowledgeable and happily answered questions.

Stanton Hall in Natchez, MS is an architectural marvel and a gem of historical preservation. Originally named Belfast, it was built during 1851–1857 for Frederick Stanton, a cotton broker, as a replica of his ancestral home in Ireland. In 1890, the home was turned into Stanton College for Young Ladies. This stunning antebellum mansion, with its grand columns and exquisite interiors, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the mid-19th century. The guided tours are exceptionally well-done, with knowledgeable guides who bring the rich history and stories of the Hall and its original inhabitants to life. The mansion’s period furnishings and meticulous attention to detail make every room a visual delight. The surrounding gardens are equally beautiful, providing a peaceful and picturesque setting. Visiting Stanton Hall is a journey back in time and a must-see for anyone interested in Southern history and architecture.

What an wonderful trip back in time we had on this amazing tour. Our tour guide was exceptional. She had a wealth of knowledge. You could tell she loved sharing it. Every question she was asked she was able to address. I am so glad my husband and I took the tour.

Beautiful! We enjoyed the tour given by a very knowledgeable guide. Fascinating to see how people lived and some of the treasures that they had.
