The antebellum homes of Natchez, Mississippi
Natchez once boasted over 500 millionaires, more than any other city in the United States, except New York. In this short video, Charlie Adams shows you antebellum homes of those millionaires, including Longwood, circa 1858-61. It is the largest remaining octagonal house in the United States. It is a superb example of the mid-19th century Oriental style and was originally designed by it's owner, Dr. Haller Rush Nutt, with solar panels (strategically place mirrors) to reflect the sun's rays for the purpose of heating water. However, when the Civil War began, the workmen who were from the north, abandoned saws and hammers and returned home. Dr. Nutt, also a northerner, lost his wealth and plantations across the river in Louisiana and died a broken man. Longwood remains unfinished today, but that is part of its charm. Charlie takes you through the rooms and corridors of this most unusual house where you will find the workmen's tools left where they were dropped, abandoned in their haste to quit the South.
Since 2006 Charlie has taken hundreds of people on group travel trips for Edgerton's Travel, where he shares inspirational stories from his keynotes and seminars along the way. A former award winning television anchor, he also produces a 60 minute DVD documentary for travelers. Here on youtube, he shares short clips from the documentaries, which can educate you on places you may want to visit one day.

Viewing the Antebellum Architecture of Natchez, MS
Pierre Repooc Productions - URL:
Natchez was established in 1716 by French colonists but reached the zenith of its growth in the mid 1800's due to its strategic position along the Mississippi River and the advent of steamboats. The Antebellum Architecture from before the Civil War was the result of wealthy Southern planters, who owned vast tracts of land in the surrounding lowlands of Mississippi and Louisiana, building mansions to match their ambitions in a more cultured Natchez of the day.

After making their way from a war torn battlefield, the adventurers discovered an old plantation home. It felt like a safe haven from the worries of the outside world. It was calm. It was quiet. One can almost see the peoples of the past wandering the gardens and pruning the bushes. It was peaceful. But the men needed more excitement, more adventure, so they pressed onward to see what lay in their path next.

Finding God and Goodness on Natchez Trace walk (UMTV)
More at
United Methodist Troy Waugh will tell you he is not an athlete or a world traveler but he did walk from Mississippi to Tennessee one summer. Waugh says God tested his faith by asking him to walk the 444-mile Natchez Trace, a national landmark with a scenic parkway meant for driving, biking, or day hikes. Waugh stepped up to the challenge and says the more than a month he spent walking was a journey of faith that helped him build a stronger relationship with God. “God wanted me to take a pause in life. I just knew every day God was with me,” says Waugh.
He also used the outing to help an outreach program he supports, the United Methodist Community Care Fellowship in Nashville, Tenn. Waugh’s fellow church members and friends pledged money that he would complete his walk and he raised $10,000 for the charity which aids the homeless.

Visiting Historic Natchez, Mississippi
Historic Natchez, Mississippi began as a fort established by French colonists on the Mississippi River in 1716, but was ceded to Spain in 1763. Later, it became British territory, and finally became part of the United States after the Revolutionary War. It served as the capital of Mississippi and then was the first capital of the state of Mississippi.
As the southern terminus of the Natchez Trace, which connected Natchez to Nashville, Tennessee, it helped lead to the settlement of what was then the southwestern part of the United States.
Southern plantations - and slavery - became an important part of the city's economy and culture in the 1800s. After the war, its role as an important river port supported local industry, but both of those faded over time.
Today Natchez is a popular tourist destination, primarily for its historic sites, river-related activites and antebellum architecture.

Then we head up to Friendship Cemetery in Columbus where our national Memorial Day holiday has its roots. Down Highway 61 in Natchez, many of the state’s first settlers found their resting places. Finally, the haunting story of Henry Vick at Chapel of the Cross in Madison County plays a central role in that area’s history.

Natchez Auction Preview: The Eola Hotel
Built in 1927, renovated in 1998, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 131-room Natchez Eola Hotel offers its guests the ambiance and charm of the Old South with the convenience of modern amenities. The Natchez Eola Hotel is graced with elegant interiors, arched doorways, crystal chandeliers, marble trim, stately columns, Mississippi River view balconies and a New Orleans courtyard with an original fire-and-water fountain.
Grand and stately, the Eola Hotel is furnished throughout with fine antiques, original oil paintings, statuary fountains and lush florals. Step out of the Eola's courtyard into the heart of historic downtown Natchez, where you'll discover Natchez Under-the-Hill, riverboat gambling, and the city's renowned Antiques Row, all within walking distance of the Eola. Horse-drawn carriages will deliver you to the door of magnificent antebellum mansions graced with innumerable white columns, rich Italian marble and moss-laden trees.
Named Eola after the developer's daughter, the Natchez Eola Hotel opened on July 1, 1927. Local newspapers hailed the hotel as a symbol of civic progress. Beginning in 1932, the Eola became headquarters for the annual Natchez Spring Pilgrimage.
The hotel enjoyed years of prosperity and celebrity visits, but by the 1960s, was showing its age. It quietly closed in 1974. Then, in 1978, under new ownership, a major restoration project commenced. Six and one-half million dollars later, the landmark hotel reopened. Elaborate chandeliers, columns, arched doorways, marble trim, and the famed Peacock Alley were returned to their original splendor.
Preservation efforts sensitive to the original architecture earned the Natchez Eola membership in the National Register of Historic Places. The premier historic hotel property in Natchez, Mississippi, the Eola once again is a command center to the annual antebellum home pilgrimages. The hotel hosts the annual Natchez Antiques Forum.
The tallest building in downtown Natchez, the seven-story Eola Hotel overlooks the city from the corner of Main and Pearl Streets. Just two blocks from the Mississippi River, and one block from the city's new convention center, the hotel is within easy walking distance of most of the city's attractions, restaurants, and nightlife.
The Natchez Eola Hotel offers the finest convention and meeting facilities in the area. The greatest care has been taken to create functional spaces that do not sacrifice the elegant ambiance of this historic hotel. With +/- 3,995 square feet of meeting space, the Eola Hotel provides meeting spaces that range from small boardrooms that seat a dozen individuals to a grand ballroom, which can accommodate 400 guests.
Lé Grand Pré Ballroom, on the mezzanine, offers a beautiful space for private dinners and receptions. The Grand Pré seats up to 250 people for banquets and 400 people for receptions. The ballroom can be divided into four private rooms that will accommodate groups from 15 to 110 people.
Located two blocks from the Mississippi River, one block from the newly built Natchez Convention Center, this historic downtown Natchez hotel is both elegant and convenient.
Eola-At-A-Glance: 131 standard and premium rooms and suites with queen, double, and king-size bedding. Rooms are handicapped accessible along with smoking and non-smoking.
