Lansdowne (Natchez, Mississippi)

Lansdowne is a historic estate that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi. The property began as a 727-acre, antebellum, hunting estate - like the estates of the landed gentry in England. After the Civil War Lansdowne became a cotton plantation. Cotton, corn, sheep and cattle were raised there until about 1960. The original owner's residence and 120 acres of the original estate are still owned and occupied by the descendants of the builder, who open it periodically for tours.
