The Legacy of Brandon Hall: A Historic Southern Estate

Standing in greatness on a hillock overlooking the Natchez Trace, Brandon Hall has been restored to its once magnificent splendor. Built by Gerard Brandon III, whose father in 1825, became the first native-born governor of Mississippi.

Gerard and Charlotte Brandon inherited the property and began construction of Brandon Hall, completing the home in 1856. The couple had twelve children, seven of whom died before the age of 18 and are buried in a small cemetery only a stone’s throw from Brandon Hall.

  • Brandon Hall suffered major deterioration from 1914-1983 and was restored in 1987
  • Restoration of the home perfectly duplicated the original construction of Brandon Hall
  • Restoration included, the replacement of brick foundation piers where the old mortar had crumbled, reconstruction of the entire galleries surrounding the home, replacement of several cast-iron capitals that were missing, and much more
  • Brandon Hall boasts beautiful terraced gardens
