The antebellum homes of Natchez, Mississippi
Natchez once boasted over 500 millionaires, more than any other city in the United States, except New York. In this short video, Charlie Adams shows you antebellum homes of those millionaires, including Longwood, circa 1858-61. It is the largest remaining octagonal house in the United States. It is a superb example of the mid-19th century Oriental style and was originally designed by it's owner, Dr. Haller Rush Nutt, with solar panels (strategically place mirrors) to reflect the sun's rays for the purpose of heating water. However, when the Civil War began, the workmen who were from the north, abandoned saws and hammers and returned home. Dr. Nutt, also a northerner, lost his wealth and plantations across the river in Louisiana and died a broken man. Longwood remains unfinished today, but that is part of its charm. Charlie takes you through the rooms and corridors of this most unusual house where you will find the workmen's tools left where they were dropped, abandoned in their haste to quit the South.
Since 2006 Charlie has taken hundreds of people on group travel trips for Edgerton's Travel, where he shares inspirational stories from his keynotes and seminars along the way. A former award winning television anchor, he also produces a 60 minute DVD documentary for travelers. Here on youtube, he shares short clips from the documentaries, which can educate you on places you may want to visit one day.

Viewing the Antebellum Architecture of Natchez, MS
Pierre Repooc Productions - URL:
Natchez was established in 1716 by French colonists but reached the zenith of its growth in the mid 1800's due to its strategic position along the Mississippi River and the advent of steamboats. The Antebellum Architecture from before the Civil War was the result of wealthy Southern planters, who owned vast tracts of land in the surrounding lowlands of Mississippi and Louisiana, building mansions to match their ambitions in a more cultured Natchez of the day.

SUMMARY
=======
The President's Mansion is a historic Greek Revival style mansion on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It has served as the official residence of university presidents ever since its completion in 1841. The structure narrowly avoided destruction during the American Civil War, making it one of the oldest surviving buildings on campus today. The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 14, 1972, due to its architectural and historical significance.

Visiting Historic Natchez, Mississippi
Historic Natchez, Mississippi began as a fort established by French colonists on the Mississippi River in 1716, but was ceded to Spain in 1763. Later, it became British territory, and finally became part of the United States after the Revolutionary War. It served as the capital of Mississippi and then was the first capital of the state of Mississippi.
As the southern terminus of the Natchez Trace, which connected Natchez to Nashville, Tennessee, it helped lead to the settlement of what was then the southwestern part of the United States.
Southern plantations - and slavery - became an important part of the city's economy and culture in the 1800s. After the war, its role as an important river port supported local industry, but both of those faded over time.
Today Natchez is a popular tourist destination, primarily for its historic sites, river-related activites and antebellum architecture.
