Monmouth Plantation
Overview
Located in Natchez, one of the South’s most treasured cities, Monmouth Plantation combines the elegance of the ante-bellum era with timeless hospitality. The home was built in 1818 by John Hankinson, a Yankee from Monmouth County, New Jersey. During Natchez’s hey day, leading up to the Civil War, the property was home to General John A. Quitman and his family. A distinguished war hero and later governor of Mississippi and a United States Senator, Quitman envisioned a place of permanence and peace in the midst of a changing world. Today, Quitman’s dream stands fulfilled. This gracious mansion enjoys a picturesque setting amid pebbled paths, giant magnolia trees and moss-draped oaks and transports guests to a gentler, less hurried time.
The owner's daughter's loyalty to the Union saved Monmouth during the Civil War.
