Great little side trip on visit to Natchez. A little out of the way from the Natchez Trace but worth the side trip to view this historic site.

Wow. Definitely got a creepy woods vibe when visiting here. Crazy to imagine how the mansion used to be complete and full of life. No ghosts but when I visited someone had place 3 of the Little Bur truck series books in front (????) So odd.
