Natchez Fall Pilgrimage Dates Set

Natchez’s annual Fall Pilgrimage, September 27 – October 14, is just around the corner and is a prime time to discover the historic charms and natural beauty of Natchez, Mississippi. This year’s annual tour of 20 antebellum mansions includes Longwood, an opulent octagonal dream mansion, that remains unfinished as a result of the start of the Civil War.  Look for “Characters in Costume” along the extensive tour of homes in which characters from the houses’ history are depicted in the first person. Evening entertainment includes Stone House Musicale—a 19th century intimate piano concert with renowned classical musician and native Natchezean Joseph Stone at his family home; Amos Polk’s Voices of Hope—a bountiful plantation dinner and a stirring gospel concert at The Carriage House Restaurant with Chef Bingo Starr; Sordid Lives—an uproarious and very bawdy comedy presented by The Natchez Little Theatre.
