Didn’t see these incredible photos coming when we stopped to view the church interior! Amazing b&w photos of early Natchez. From portraits of citizens to local architecture, street scenes to river scapes, floods to river cruises, everything’s documented. If you’re a fan of period photography, don’t miss this free exhibit!

This was the first experience at a temple for our young sons, and they were enthralled. The monks were very friendly and welcoming, and the temple itself is lovely! They have free food on Sundays, I'd highly recommend a visit for that! Nearby to the Villas of Hickory Hills, it's a great way to get a nice dinner and experience some culture in the middle of nowhere!!

This church has beautiful stained glass windows.
Reviewed By O1670HAjenniferw - Natchez, United States
We attended the 10 am service on Christmas day. The stained glass windows and architecture of the building are unique. Covid distancing and hand sanitizing was being observed, but communion was very risky, so we did not participate. It is well worth stopping to visit the church.

I went to College Hill Presbyterian during my college years with my Granny who was a member along with her husband for many, many years. I knew then some of the history and enjoyed when the church ate on the grounds. I recently discovered a family member buried there through ancestry.com. Now my old and recent visits (to see the cemetery) are all the more richer.
