Experience the remarkable story of Longwood, one of Natchez’s most iconic architectural treasures and a true symbol of ambition left unfinished. Designed in 1859 for Haller Nutt, this extraordinary octagonal mansion stands out as the largest of its kind in the United States, crowned with a striking Byzantine onion-shaped dome that immediately captures attention.
Discover how Longwood earned the nickname Nutt’s Folly, as construction halted before completion, leaving only nine of the planned thirty-two rooms finished in the basement. Learn how decades of neglect failed to erase its significance, and explore why this unique structure has endured to become one of Natchez’s most beloved and fascinating historic attractions.
