We visited the Visitor's Center and save a video on the history of Natchez. We got tickets for 3 Annabela Home tours and a carriage tour. We later went back and got tickets for the Home and Garden Show on the weekend.
This is William Johnson's Home, a free black man who was a writer and well respective businessman. After our city tour, we will return to visit this museum, run by the National Parks.
This is a home for delinquent students, near the courthouse. Because of the actions of the Natchez Historical Society, anything built in the city must adhere to regulations in buildings, so that the city stay historically accurate in their buildings.
The Presbyterian Church.
And beautiful houses, after beautiful houses.
The train depot, which is now loft condos.
After our carriage tour, we headed to The Pig Out Inn for some BBQ.
We took a walk at the park along the Mississippi, to walk our lunch off.
Down the street, was the William Johnson's house. William Johnson was a barber, who was born into slavery but was freed by his father. His home was upstairs from the barber shop. Johnson kept a 16 year diary, which was later published as The Barber of Natchez.
