This cherished Natchez tour welcomes you with an elegant facade, bedecked with twinkling lights and festive ornaments, where the echoes of merriment and warmth linger as tales of the past. Inside, marvel at meticulously preserved rooms adorned with Federal-period furnishings and exquisite decorative arts, each exuding a nostalgic charm that harks back to a bygone era.
As you wander through the halls, you'll find yourself captivated by the grandeur of the home, its period antiques speaking volumes of a storied past. The Federal-style doorway, renowned in the southwest, beckons you to step into a world where tradition and beauty intertwine. Galleried wings, added over time, have transformed the original two-story dwelling into a graceful colonnaded front gallery, a testament to architectural evolution.
Linden's history is woven deeply into the fabric of Natchez, as evidenced by its transformation into a home for Jane E. Conner and her 9 children in 1849. Today, the legacy endures as the current owner, now the 6th generation of the Conner family, continues to preserve and share this remarkable piece of history. Amidst the holiday splendor, experience the joy of the season, basking in the glow of the beautifully adorned Christmas tree while surrounded by the timeless allure of Linden.
