Spring Pilgrimage
March 7 - April 11, 2009
(http://www.natchezpilgrimage.com/)
Twenty-five antebellum mansions, many of them private residences, open their doors to visitors during this five-week Pilgrimage every spring. Brilliant musical productions, theater, Gospel music, and historic presentations take the stage each evening.


Entertainment includes The Historic Natchez Pageant, a magnificent musical production of dancing, historic scenes and elaborate period costumes. Songs of the South, Stephen Foster, traditional spirituals Gershwin and much more. Southern Road to Freedom, a stirring musical tribute to the African-American experience from the Colonial period to the present day. Southern Exposure, a hilarious spoof on the Natchez homes, homeowners and Pilgrimage tourists.

Pilgrimage Hostesses

Our hostesses during the Spring Pilgrimage are here at Monmouth to greet guests in the typical antebellum dress. The ladies are available to give the history of Monmouth and provide the gracious hospitality that our Natchez ladies provide to all our guests.

Pilgrimage Pralines

The praline candy lady, Ms. Dyson is a familiar and welcome person at Monmouth during Spring Pilgrimage. Ms. Dyson comes every year and sells her home made praline candy to tourists and many say her candy is the best in the city. My Dyson loves to visit with the guests on tour of the mansion and you can see by her lovely smile that she is a delightful addition every year at Pilgrimage.
