Today we drove an hour south to Natchez MS. Its a beautiful and historic town on the banks of the Mississippi. We stopped at the visitors center and purchased tickets to three of the many historical homes in the area. Our first stop was the gorgeous Stanton Hall. We had lunch in the little cafe behind the main house and then joined in a tour of the interior of the house. No photography allowed inside of this one but believe me it was resplendent! So beautifully restored and richly furnished. It was built in 1857 and takes up one entire city block.
The second Antebellum home was Auburn. Completed in 1812 it’s a 12 room mansion built of sold bricks which were created on site.
It’s famous for it’s free-standing main staircase.
Here are some pictures of the other rooms on the first and second floor of the house.
And finally we visited Longwood which is a really interesting octagonal “Oriental Villa”. It was started in 1861 but the construction was halted due to the Civil War and the family only lived on the finished and furnished basement floor while the top 6 floors remain unfinished to this day.
Where's Wanda (and John) Now? 
Wow wow wow 😮
