Magnolia Hall
A Greek Revival mansion completed in 1858. It was struck by a cannonball from a Union gunboat during the Civil War. It hosts an exhibit of costumes from the Pilgrimage.
Magnolia Hall was one of the last grand houses completed in Natchez before the Civil War, in 1858. It has red-brick walls and a white Ionic colonnade. In 1863, it was struck by a shell from a Union gunboat on the Mississippi River. The house is managed by the Natchez Garden Club. Inside, the ceiling features ornate plaster magnolia decorations, and the upper floor displays the elaborate costumes worn over the years during the Pilgrimage. Located downtown, it can be visited on foot along with Stanton Hall and St. Mary Basilica.
