Why you should go…
Longwood is an unfinished octagonal mansion crowned by an onion dome, designed by Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan for cotton planter Haller Nutt. Work stopped in 1861 when the Northern craftsmen left at the start of the Civil War, and only the nine basement rooms of the 32 planned were completed. Guided tours by Natchez Pilgrimage Tours cover the finished lower level and the bare upper floors, which by the terms of the 1968 donation can never be finished.
