The New Pilgrimage: Plan Your Trip!

If you’ve come to Pilgrimage in Natchez, Mississippi, you may be used to doing things a certain way. This spring we’ve completely revamped how we do Pilgrimage and we’ve made it much easier on you.

TICKETS:

  • Private Homes - $100 gives you access to all 17 private homes, an incredible value. After prebuying your ticket (HERE), you’ll go to the Carriage House at Stanton Hall (410 N Commerce Street) during Pilgrimage (March 26-30 & April 3-6). There we’ll give you your welcome packet and a bracelet that will give you access to all private homes. Your ticket will be good for either the first four days (March 27-30) or the second four days (April 3-6). Those designated as First Families Homes are properties that are owned by descendants of some of the first settlers of Natchez. These homes have been in the same family for generations and are filled with family heirlooms that tell the story of our most notable families.

    Tour homes include Bontura, Brandon Hall, The Briars, The Burn, Concord Quarters, Elodie’s Cottage, Green Leaves, Holly Hedges, Hope Farm, Lansdowne, Myrtle Terrace, Propinquity, Ravenna, Ravennaside, Richmond, Rip Rap, and Sweet Auburn. Download Map
