The largest octagonal mansion in the United States, Longwood, was never fully completed. Admire the exterior, which was designed by Samuel Sloan as an Oriental villa with a Byzantine-style dome. The first floor's opulent rooms were restored to reflect their antebellum beginnings. You also can explore the unfinished second floor and basement. The first floor often hosts events, such as weddings and conventions, so check in advance to make sure the mansion is open to the public during your visit. If you book a tour package that includes Stanton Hall, you'll have the chance to see two Mississippi landmarks followed by some fine dining at Stanton Hall's Carriage House restaurant. Choose to start, finish, or center your holiday on a trip to Longwood by using our Natchez tour itinerary planning website.

At first I was skeptical, I was afraid that the money was wasted. After touring the house and telling the whole story by a local guide, I realized it was worth a visit. The story itself and the house itself shows you a picture of how it all once looked in history. The park around house is beautiful and good for walking.

Interesting place. Tour is a bit pricey but glad to help preserve this piece of architectural history. Great views from the property. Tours are scheduled every half hour so waiting wasn't bad. Cute little gift shop. Restrooms are available on the property.
