SUMMARY: During the Civil War, Natchez, Mississippi, unlike Vicksburg or Atlanta, was spared significant destruction due to its strategic insignificance. As a result, Natchez now boasts the highest number of surviving antebellum structures in the U.S. By the 1930s, improved highways and increased prosperity brought tourists to Natchez, particularly for its springtime gardens. A late freeze one year led to the opening of historic home interiors to visitors, establishing an annual tradition that expanded to include concerts, music, literary, and film festivals. The Natchez City Cemetery, with its ornate graves and unique features, is also a popular attraction, contributing to Natchez’s rich historical and cultural allure.
