    Sunnyside Bed & Breakfast (Natchez, MS)…read more We came out for a night of desserts and music during the spring pilgrimage so I can't speak on the bed and breakfast aspect. The owners were super friendly. The environment was inviting. And don't get me started on how good the desserts were. I heard a lot of people bragging on how good the breakfast was here too! "Rev. William Hamilton Watkins (1815-1881) built Sunnyside as a parsonage in the 1850s. When the Union troops were camped close, a Union soldier by the name of Jones became friends with the Watkins family. Watkins' daughter, Hattie, fell in love with him. Jones was nearby when Confederates came to Watkins for assistance. They ask if he would contribute to the Confederacy. Watkins agreed. His oldest son was fighting in the war, and he hoped that some of his contributions would get to his son. Jones, however, reported Watkins to the Union Army, Watkins was arrested and charged with treason. During his trial, the commandant told Watkins that the crimes for which he was charged are punishable by death. Watkins replied, "I know nothing of the laws of war, only the gospel of God." Watkins' bail was set at $10,000, which is equivalent to about $188,755.21 in 2023. Because he only made $1,100 a year (about $20,763.07 in 2023), he could not come up with the money. He remained incarcerated until the end of 1865. Once released, he went on to minister in Jackson, Vicksburg, Woodville, and other places."

    Auburn Plantation…read more We toured this house during the "Hope Restoration Project". The tour was amazing. So much history and the house is absolutely stunning! Here's a little history lesson. In 1811, Lyman Harding, the first Attorney General of Mississippi, hired Levi Weeks to build the mansion. Levi designed the house to be, in his words, the "most magnificent building in the state." After Harding died in 1820, the building was bought by Dr. Stephen Duncan. Here's a little history on Dr. Duncan,... He was born and studied medicine in Pennsylvania, but moved to Natchez in 1808 and became the wealthiest cotton planter and the second-largest slave owner in the U.S. with over 2,200 slaves. He owned 15 cotton and sugar plantations, served as President of the Bank of Mississippi, and held major investments in railroads and lumber. He became an influential Mississippi backer of the American Colonization Society, which promoted the removal of freed American blacks to Liberia, a colonial settlement in West Africa. Under his leadership during the 1830s, the Mississippi Colonization Society removed 571 African-Americans to Liberia. He was a steadfast Unionist during the American Civil War. He tried unsuccessfully to lobby the Lincoln Administration to help him protect his slaveholdings after the Union army occupied large swaths of Mississippi. But appeals from Duncan and his family members largely went unheeded. In late 1863, he left the Confederacy by Union gunboat and relocated to New York City where he lived until his death in 1867. Auburn and 222 acres was sold by the family to the city of Natchez in 1911 and is now a historic house museum in a public park.

    We were on a road trip and we're excited to stay in an antebellum home. The price was fully twice…read morewhat we had paid it any other hotel along the way. That was fine because we expect to Pay more at a bed-and-breakfast mansion. But, the room was quite dirty. The tops of the vintage baseboards were covered with dirt and dust. The corners of the bathroom were very dirty. I somehow expected a room at an antebellum mansion to be pristine. The breakfast in the morning was just so so. It was scrambled eggs, bacon and grits. Generally when we stay in fancy bed and breakfasts, the breakfast is something special. Some interesting new thing or something we've never tried before. This was just Normal --a little disappointing.
