| 説明 | Monmouth Plantation-3181 Circa 1818 Few estates of the American South typify the antebellum experience more than Monmouth. Its story is a tale of the Old South and of the New South, of transition and transformation, and of the many men, women, and children who called Monmouth their home from1818 to the present. Monmouth evolved from rough timber, mortar, nails, and brick to a stately antebellum, suburban villa built from the labor of human hands both free and enslaved. Over the span of more then 190 years of existence, Monmouth witnessed generations of births and deaths, as the home and workplace of slaves, tenant farmers, wet nurses, American statesmen and businessmen, plantation mistresses, and enterprising housewives—all contributing to its historic saga as one generation passed from view and the next took its place. Antebellum Monmouth was a grand estate house embellished with the finest furnishings and landscaped gardens tended by enslaved servants, field hands, stock minders, and gardeners. All of this changed, however, with the coming of the Civil War to Natchez, and Monmouth thereafter experienced the plight of numerous southern estate villas when their once wealthy owners could no longer afford the trappings of the elite. For years after the Civil War, Monmouth survived as but a memory of its notable history, as its once impressive structure and gardens fell into ruin and disarray—overrun at times with vermin, vagrants, and weeds. In the 1980s, a new Monmouth emerged from the ruins to become a fully restored historic site and a small luxury hotel. This is the history of that journey. Historical Text Developed by Cynthia J.
