Natchez MS in pictures

Well, now I get to travel to Natchez MS once a week for an overnighter.  Good news is though, it's one place that I haven't been to take pictures.  This last trip was a little quick and I didn't have time to do some *real* sightseeing, but that will come too!  On to the story/pics (now, what good would they be, if they didn't tell a little story?)?

Natchez MS is the oldest settlement on the MS river.  It was a bustling city pre-civil war and it was also one of the sites of the largest slave markets.  Natchez is built on the bluffs of the MS.  Although I really don't have any pics that show them, I will next time around.  I spent quite a bit of time, drivng around, lost as a goose.  Next time, the trusty map will be with me.

"Tragic circumstances led to the naming of Dunleith. In 1855 lightning struck a chimney, and Routhland burned to the ground. Dahlgren built a new house in its place in 1856, but his young wife died just three years later. In order to settle the estate, Charles sold the house to Alfred Vidal Davis for $30,000, and Davis gave the house the Scottish name of Dunleith.".

Natchez City Cemetery was established in 1822 and covers approximately 100 acres of land.   The marble and iron works are phenomenal.

Melrose Plantation-This nineteenth century Greek revival-style mansion represents the hieght of Southern prosperity and the "Cotton Kingdom." Built by the John T. McMurran family beginning in 1841, Melrose was, according to McMurran daughter-in-law Alice Austen, "very elegant; one of the handsomest places I have seen North or South."
