Rosalie Mansion
Rosalie
A red-brick Federal-style mansion on the bluff, used as a Union army headquarters during the Civil War. The interior retains its original furniture.
Rosalie was built between 1820 and 1823 on the bluff beside the site of the French colonial Fort Rosalie. It is a prototype of Natchez's Federal and Greek Revival mansions. After the Union army occupied Natchez in 1863, the house became a Union military headquarters. Inside, many furnishings and silverware from the original family remain. The garden overlooks the Mississippi River. The house is managed by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Guided tours are offered daily, admission is about 25 US dollars, and the Bluff Park is next door.
