Plan on spending several hours looking at the wonderful black and white photographs of Henry and Earl Norman depicting the early years of Natchez-- many pictures of steamboats and houses as well as families. The church is also worth the visit-- it was established in 1817 and the current sanctuary was built in 1829. Admission is free, but donations are... More

A gallery of large black & white photos depicting Natchez history and portraits of it's people in vintage clothing and scenes. If you don't say "WOW" at least a dozen times, I'd be surprised. The detail in the photos is amazing. No taking photos in the gallery is allowed. I believe the church could make some serious cash if they... More

This was recommended by the concierge. I wish we had gone earlier. We could have easily spent three or more hours. Fascinating!

The church is nice and if you are lucky like we were someone will be there to tell you some of its history, but the real attraction is the photo exhibit upstairs, really beautiful and full of history.

It was a beautiful church and the photo gallery offered an excellent pictorial history of Natchez. The gallery was organized by groups of inhabitants across the years, and there were also relics of photo equipment from the 19th century.

Many are high-quality portraits of women and children, taken by the town's portrait photographers. Most of the subjects are white, but some are black, and they give faces and bodies and expressions to the people who inhabited... More

If you are interested in history or historic photos, this is a well restored and preserved selection. Thousands of photos were restored and preserved from the late 1800s on. Photos of blacks and whites, and river boat and barges provide a glimpse of life in early Natchez.

Its not the church but the collection of early Natchez photos that's the draw card here. The collection of two generations of professional photographers fills a huge area of the side rooms of the church and is presented in different themes to make it all the more interesting. I love small town museums and this is in that mold, giving... More

We did not tour the church (there was no one there when we arrived) but viewed the photograph collection. I was very glad we did. The photographs are interesting in slice-of-life sort of way: family portraits, wedding pictures, children's pictures, adults' portraits, photos of gatherings at homes now lost to fire, photos of significant and everyday local events and the...
