The tour through this "mansion of the south" was a learning experience. I won't give away the details, but if you have the time, it is one of the many great homes that you should see when visiting. There is a true since of how the family lived. Learn how the house was spared during the civil war and how... More

I really enjoyed the experience. We fortunately had a tour guide who seemed to be the manager over the place and was very knowledgeable. Many in our group asked questions and she told us lots of interesting stories. The craftsmanship in the house is like nothing I have ever seen before. I loved the different colored bedrooms and the wall... More

Natchez has a lot of antebellum mansions to visit. They are all in great shape and each has an interesting story to tell. Stanton Hall is a big one in the middle of town. The story of the structure is similar to others; wealthy individual builds opulent mansion before the Civil War. Unfortunately for Mr. Stanton, he died just a... More

Not only is this place huge and beautifully decorated in period pieces, it also allows the visitor to appreciate the level of sophistication and attention to detail the very wealthiest plantation owners could enjoy. Guides dress in period costume and explain the family history as well as source of all the contents.

Fredrick Stanton knew how to live. A rich cotton grower, he spared no expense to build this house. Unfortunately, he died shortly after the house was completed. High ceilings, huge rooms, he built to impress.

Southern antebellum homes are fun and interesting, indeed, even though by the time you see 3 of them, you realize that they are all virtually the same home: built at the same time, with the same floor plan, decorated in the same general taste............actually, antebellum southern homes are little more than glorified shotgun houses. However, even a glorified shotgun house... More

Stanton Hall is as grand as its name -- a beautiful, ornate, stately house both inside and out. Our guide was very informative, and she made sure to allow time for everyone in the tour group to get a look inside each room. I liked the fact that we did not feel rushed. I just wish we could have taken... More

A very well appointed house inside. Not too many rooms available for tour. Elegant furnishings. I would probably leave off touring the inside of this house if I had to make a choice between it and Rosalie or Longwood. Both have much more interesting stories by the guides about the owners.
