This morning we entered the state of Mississippi and headed downriver to Natchez, a charming town located on a bluff above the Mississippi River.
On the way we stopped to a "Cracker Barrel" in Jackson for lunch. Then west through Vickdburg and south to Natchez.
In Natchez, hundreds of 19th century southern homes still grace the bluff, lovingly preserved to their antebellum grandeur. We viewed the best sights in town and joined a guided tour of Stanton Hall, the palatial home of a Mississippi cotton broker, built just before the Civil War. We learned about the gracious lifestyle that existed once upon a time in old Natchez. For dinner, we enjoyed a Highlight Dinner at a beautiful Natchez mansion, "Magnolia Hall", where the elegant service, atmosphere and garb of our hosts brought us back to that bygone era.
