Built in the early 1800s, Arlington is a stunning example of Federal-style architecture, boasting elegant proportions and timeless beauty. Its majestic columns and grand entrance invite you to step back in time and explore the stories of those who lived here.
Originally owned by John Hampton White, a prominent cotton planter, and his wife, Jane Surget White. They were wealthy French immigrants who acquired most of their collectibles from Europe, including a piano over 300 years old, and remained inside the house till the 1970s; they also had an incredible collection of rare books, many of which were first editions. Unfortunately, Mr. White died in October 1819, a victim of the dreaded yellow fever epidemic, and his wife died a few years later in 1825. This home has seen so many generations of history unfold within its walls. From the opulent social gatherings to the daily lives of its residents and workers, the plantation holds countless tales waiting to be discovered.
Unfortunately, a terrible fire swept through Arlington's attic in September 2002. The Historic Natchez Foundation paid for a new roof, but since then, vandals have broken out all the windows and defaced much of the interior and exterior woodwork. But after all of that, you can still feel and tell that each room tells a story, from the grand parlor to the intimate family quarters.
The expansive grounds of Arlington Plantation used to feature beautifully manicured gardens, ancient oak trees, and historic outbuildings that provide a glimpse into the working life of the plantation." but now everything seems just like one big giant abandoned wasteland. "But why was this majestic estate left to the ravages of time? What stories remain hidden within its walls?
Throughout this episode, I'll show photos of what the rooms looked like before and after join us as we uncover the haunting history and eerie beauty of the abandoned Arlington Mansion."
