The story behind this house is absolutely amazing and the tour guides do suchhh a good job telling…read moreit. 10 out of 10 recommended touring this historical home. Ok now for a history lesson: Longwood (also known as Nutt's Folly) -the largest octagonal house in the United States. This 6 story, 30,000 square foot mansion was designed by Samuel Sloan, a well-known architect from Philadelphia for cotton baron Haller Nutt and his wife, Julia. Construction began in 1860, but came to an abrupt halt when the "War Between the States" broke out in 1861 due to the workers being from the Union state, Pennsylvania. The exterior was mostly complete but the home's interior was left unfinished. Between February and July 1862, using his own slaves, Nutt finished the 8 room basement level. The interior walls were plastered and the present floor was installed. The Nutt family then moved into this completed section of the mansion. In the fall of 1863 the Union armies devastated Haller Nutt's Louisiana plantations, causing him a loss of $1,020,540.07. He died of pneumonia in 1864. Julia and his 8 children continued to live on the finished 1st floor. Because Nutt was a recognized supporter of the Union, his heirs (between 1866-1911) were eventually able to collect a total of $188,269.66 as partial compensation from the US Government for Nutt's losses. Once completed, the home would have had 32 rooms, 26 fireplaces, 115 doors and 96 columns. The rotunda was designed to have a system of mirrors inside the cupola to reflect sunlight down. Also, the shape of the cupola was designed to pull hot air upward, creating an updraft drawing fresh air through the lower floors. The property was deeded to the Pilgrimage Garden Club in 1970 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971.

I am not sure exactly what I was expecting when I wanted to visit this house, but this way exceeded…read moremy expectations. Driving up, you leave the main road, pay at the gate house, then drive along a winding gravel road and park at the back of the house. You go into the gift shop and show your receipt that you got from the gate house. They walk you into the first floor, or what the original owners intended to be the basement. Except for the center, all rooms around intended to be various rooms for entertainment and so forth but ended up being the living area for the family. It was wonderfully decorated. Then you go upstairs, and you can see that despite the outside of the house looking as if it was all intact, it was incomplete. The war between the states was underway when it came time to work on the main portion of the house, so you can see the bones of the structure and how things should have been. It was amazing and breathtaking. Outside, if you pay attention, you can see the fingerprints of the enslaved on the bricks as all bricks were made and fired on site. The details are amazing. I would recommend for anyone in the area.

Had a great stay in Choctaw Hall this past week. The place is beautiful and the room was clean…read more Lee offered to help us with our luggage. Daved gave us a great tour of the Mansion, pointing out the antiques in his collection and their history. Choctaw is within walking distance of downtown and several other historic homes. Thanks David and Lee.

We chose Choctaw Hall for our stay in Natchez partly because of its location to the various…read morehistoric trails and to the river and partly because of the idea of staying in a "townhouse" from 1836. Our room was very comfortably appointed with a roomy en suite. The common room just outside our door provided 24-hour coffee and other drinks plus snacks. We had our morning coffee and evening drinks outside while we enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and magnificent oak trees. Lee gave us the tour of the house as David's voice is giving out. While the house is beautiful, the contents are what make it unique and fascinating. David and Lee are excellent hosts - helpful but not intrusive. The coupons for breakfast at two different nearby restaurants added to the enjoyment - both restaurants were an easy walk and both were delicious. Additionally, several restaurants (try the po-boy at Wardos) nearby were delicious. Choctaw Hall was the perfect location for walking old Natchez and "below the hill" while enjoying the ambience of an historic Natchez townhouse. We had a memorable stay.
