If you're visiting Natchez, you'll undoubtedly be visiting several of the magnificent mansions around town. But what you miss as you tour these houses is any real sense of those who lived there, their children and servants, what they did, what the rest of Natchez looked like, etc. etc. Do yourself a favor and visit the Stratton Gallery and peruse...

This collection is astounding. The "guide" at the front door said that pictures were all developed from glass negatives that had been sitting on a Natchez patio in cardboard boxes.

We were lucky to have a very knowlegable volunteer staffing the church and photograph display that gave us a delightful tour of the church and a lot of background on the photographs. Captions with the photographs provide great background if you are not so lucky. You must see these photographs if you... More

You shouldn't miss this! Walking and gazing at the amazing photos gives you a feeling that you're in the middle of it all! The continuous rooms of photos could keep me there for hours. It really adds a personal touch to the history of Natchez. I would suggest you allow plenty of time on your itenerary for this visit to... More
