The tour was given by the wife of the plantation owner, and she did an excellent job of providing historical facts and figures, and cited her sources.  She has a degree in English, and has apparently studied the history of the Natchez region extensively.  We believed she presented both sides of the slavery issue fairly and objectively.

While not all of the buildings of the early to mid-1800s plantation remain, many do, and have been restored.  We toured the original cotton gin, and most of the outbuildings including share-cropper’s cabins which were much better furnished than slave quarters from an earlier period.
