Restoring the interior and exterior of Auburn Mansion is a constant process. As all the original funishings were sold by the City in 1911, period furniture is sometimes donated to this historic home. We are constantly trying to locate pieces original to the "Duncan" period of Auburn.
A window in the upstairs parlor was walled up years ago, but has now been reclaimed.
The Kitchen building, ca. 1830, with enslaved quarters on the second floor, is now restored as far as the structure is concerned.
While doing some restoration to the dining room, we uncovered, under 3 coats of wallpaper, painting of flowers directly on the original plaster which could date close to 1812
Any donations for our constant restoration projects would certainly be appreciated by the Auburn Antebellum Home members who are all volunteers and receive no tax dollars from the City of Natchez, who owns Auburn. Checks may be sent to Auburn Antebellum Home, P.O. Box 18006, Natchez, MS 39122. A receipt will be sent upon request. All donations to Auburn Antebellum Home are tax deductible as we are a 501c3 non profit corporation.
