Natchez has more antebellum homes than any other city in the United States. Nine houses are available for touring daily. During our Spring and Fall Pilgrimages, many more open their doors to visitors. Hundreds more are private homes and not available for touring but still a delight to the eye as you pass by.
Although downtown Natchez features spectacular antebellum homes, the business district is largely a phenomenon of late nineteenth century architecture. It is the perfect setting for the antique shops, variety shops, specialty shops, hotel, churches and fabulous restaurants that reside inside their historic walls. Many of the more than forty bed and breakfasts found in Natchez are located in or near the downtown area.
The semi tropical climate provides a recreational paradise. In Natchez, golf and tennis aren't seasonal activities - you can enjoy them year-round. Hiking and biking trails are some of the best in the country.
Fishing? The Mississippi record for large mouth bass was caught at Natchez State Park. Hunting? Trophy whitetail deer are waiting at Giles Island.
And how about life in Natchez? Life in Natchez is simple and easy-going punctuated by year round festivals and celebrations.
