About
Stanton Hall, one of the most magnificent and Palatial Greek homes in America, occupies an entire city block in downtown Natchez, MS. This home stands 5 stories tall and was originally 14,000 square feet. Many original furnishings and beautiful antiques are displayed throughout the home as well as one of a kind arched millwork throughout the halls and parlors. Designed for Fredrick and Hulda Stanton by Natchez architect Thomas Rose, Stanton Hall contains beauty unlike any other. Mr. Stanton imported immense gilt mirrors from France, ordered unusually executed gasoliers from Philadelphia, and brought in beautifully sculptured marble mantels from New York. The original Gothic-style hall stand and matching chairs are an important part of the Stanton's original furnishings. Stanton Hall is owned and beautifully maintained by the Pilgrimage Garden Club.

    Worth your time and money
    The home was amazing. Fully restored inside and out. Draperies, wallpaper,furniture was original to the house or meticulously reconstructed. Our tour guide was Chuck. His level of knowledge and expertise made the tour exceptional.

    A Must See
    We visited Natchez first of June to view antebellum mansions and take in the history, Stanton Hall is Awesome! The mansion is beautiful, designed with perfect craftsmanship. Attention to detail was not spared at all. Detail in craftsmanship abounds inside the home and outside. The massive mirrors in the house were brought by ship from Europe as were many other precious pieces, hardware, and chandeliers. Each chandelier has its own theme. This mansion was my favorite, by far a Must See! Well worth the admission fee. Staff there was friendly and warm.
    Thank you for your kind review...we are so happy that you enjoyed your tour of Stanton Hall!

    Fun Day in Natchez on the American Queen
    We visited Stanton Hall as part of the city tour offered by the steamboat, American Queen. A beautiful Southern antebellum home with period dressed, volunteer guides narrating in each room. Of the three houses we toured in Natchez, Stanton Hall is the best.

    Great visit
    Great house, very nice specially from the inside. The staff is incredibly friendly and competent, maybe the nicest people I found in the whole 3 weeks trip. Tour offered with plenty of time, more than in theory it had to be.

    Lovely!
    Visited Stanton Hall on a quick Memorial Day weekend in Natchez and it was quite beautiful! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the house and family. She took her time, let us take it all in, and was able to answer our questions with confidence. Sorry I don't recall her name. I think the tour is a bit overpriced but I understand it costs quite a bit to keep these places open. Another disappointment is that you are not allowed to take photos inside. Bummer, as we like to document our travels.

    Beautiful Home
    Beautiful home where no expense was spared when building it. Our tour guide, Carolyn, was very knowledgeable and fun. The home is gorgeous and well maintained. The home was used in the making of "North and South" with Patrick Swayze. I didn't know that before going. I'll watch the movie again with a different perspective after seeing this beautiful home in person. Don't miss this one!
