Homewood was a historic antebellum plantation with a mansion of the same name located on it in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi.

Built in 1860 as a wedding present for the Southern belle Catherine Hunt, the daughter of planter David Hunt, the mansion remained unscathed during the American Civil War of 1861-1865. By the early twentieth century, it was used as a shooting location for 1915 film The Birth of a Nation.

The Homewood mansion burnt down in 1940 under suspicious circumstances. The estate's old carriage house survived the fire, and is used as a residence and a clubhouse for the Natchez Country Club.

Splendor at its finest. Just imagine a party or ball at this plantation 'befoah the whoah'..... The rustling of crinolines, the scent of imported cheroot smoke, the mumbling of numerous slave servants moving with silver trays, and sparkling candles, champagne glasses, and the finest silverware from France..... Rebelicious!
