stanton hall

It was fantastic, such beauty and the massive rooms and hallway upstairs were fantastic. Only wish we could have toured more floors of this home. We learned so much on our tour!

For anyone visiting Natchez with her Southern Hospitality and Charm, you definitely want to see this magnificent Antebellum Home from early 1800's. Open year round, SH serves as headquarters for the Pilgrimage Garden Club. However, one may choose to visit Natchez especially during the entire month of March with her Azalea's in full bloom or in the Fall as there is also a Fall Tour going on. SH, grounds are breath taking with massive oak trees and gardens. The house itself still contains many priceless antiques, original chandeliers, marble mantles. Also the spectacular full length pier mirrors...one must realize the ceilings in many of these homes range anywhere from 14 to 20ft tall and to have a mirror of this statue really makes a statement. I hold a special place in my heart and memories of this fine specimen of "the old South" as my wedding reception was held here in the early 70's. If my memory stands correct, General U.S. Grant even spent a night in one of Stanton Hall's upstairs bedrooms during the Civil War. Also one thing that caught my eye on Trip Advisor's list of places to dine/eat..........it does not mention The Carriage House (Restaurant) on grounds of Stanton Hall. You cannot make a visit to Natchez without eating here!! Most noted items on menu are Cheese Grits, Cheese/Shrimp Grits, Biscuits/jelly and of course their Southern Fried Chicken.

A trip down history lane is always more enjoyable and informative if your tour guide was as good as ours. It was a facinating look into the past and the house was indeed elegent and there is little wonder why the whole world at that time was after the south's cotton hence the wealth on display now was absolutely enormous in those times.

This was our 2nd or 3rd home tour of the day and what a beautiful place. It must have been good being in the cotton business back in the early to mid 1800s.This place is only a few blocks from Main street in downtown Natchez and also has a restaurant in the carriage house in back.Our tour guide was a little stand-offish at first but warmed up by the end of the tour.Even our two teenage kids stayed interested throughout the tour.

What a wonderful tour! This enormous house was built in the 1850s to showcase the wealth of Mr.Stanton, a cotton plantation owner. It encompasses an entire city block and certainly speaks to the opulence of the extremely wealthy in this time period. The cornices are gold, the marble is Italian, the doorknobs and keyholes are silver---everything is costly and elegant....no subtlety about wealth here! Most of the furnishings are original. Our tour guide, Jay (?), was sassy, southern and just a delight. The tour lasted just under an hour.

We toured Stanton Hall and were Very Impressed! The House itself is Fantastic, and our Tour Guide was Very Enjoyable! You can truly imagine how the Super Rich lived while your on this tour. How nice it must have been. Lol

Beautiful place. the tour was informative. We were told by our B&B hosts this was a must see in Natchez.

This historic mansion is a must see. Our tour lady was a truly southern bell who was very knowledgeable about the family history and the famous visitors to the mansion.

Stanton hall is an impressive, arguably one of the most impressive, examples of antebellum architecture in the south. The detail that is in this house is breathtaking and is the closest thing to visiting the inside of a palace that America has to offer. The tour and your guide however are less than desirable. The tour, which could easily last for an hour or more, is a short 20 to 30 minutes. Put on your running shoes, because there is no time to stop and admire the surroundings before you're rushed to another room. The tour guide acted as if she could not care less about sharing the history of the home with us. She lacked the warmth and hospitality that the south is known for and it's a shame that the house is so poorly represented.

Stanton Hall was within walking distance of our B&B Inn. We walked down the beautiful street to tour the home. It was lovely and the tour guide was very thorough.

The Stanton hall is unique in that the structure is charming itself. And on Sunday's they have a (Sunday Brunch) all you can eat.The have the best Collard Greens in the Mississippi. My mom and enjoyed the tastes of foods there. Their soup was crawfish and turtle soup. The has salads; sheephead fish, fried chicken, sirloin steak and more. Had to go back for seconds; But I left enough for other people. (don't worry)

You'll love touring during fall and spring pilgrimages and can really see how people lived pre Civil War. The period furniture was wonderful in this enormous mansion, open year round.

Lovely on the inside, less so on the exterior, Stanton Hall is huge even by today's McMansion standards. Size aside, the outside is nothing special, but the exquisite interior has been lovingly and meticulously restored and maintained by a small army of local notables. The result is lively historical accuracy that brings bring vibrancy to the many rooms and hallways open for tours. High marks to docents who treat this historic masterpiece as though it were a valued family member.

This home is one of the better ones we've toured. It's very large and has a lot of period pieces as well as original pieces. Great tour.

we did the special dinner package and tour for the fall pilgrimage and loved it. the food was great, interesting people at the table to talk to, and a lot of great stories from the hostess. the service was perfect and the house is an ideal setting for a several course meal with wine pairings... don't miss it!
