Scott, You may know of the several privately owned National Register Properties in Natchez MS . . . they are periodically open to the public via the Daughters of the Confederacy (I think) and the Natchez Garden Club(s). Several are operated on regular schedules, others as B&Bs, one or two are owned by the state. Good contacts include Ron & Mimi Miller in Natchez and Gregg Free in Austin TX. Good luck with your efforts, JIM cott
