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.

- Travelers5005Buena Vista, Colorado5 contributionsWorth your time and moneyThe 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.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten March 26, 2023
- Dorie G5 contributionsA Must SeeWe 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!Written June 23, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten June 16, 2023

- CLHouma, Louisiana3 contributionsLovely!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.Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten October 12, 2023
- Savannah38372Savannah, Tennessee164 contributionsBeautiful HomeBeautiful 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!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten October 12, 2023
