I will be going back today to take my 87 year old mother--it's a part of history she needs to see. We live about 2 hours from Natchez and it is well worth the drive. The entry price is very affordable. It's a good family attraction. Today will be my 3 visit. Longwood is one of the most interesting pieces of history I have ever seen.

It was wonderful. This place is absolutey amazing. When I was a little girl playing with my cousins on Monroe street, we used to pass by and Mr. Oakes would be setting on the porch, I was so scared, because back then the house was brown in color and scary looking; I had no idea I would someday go through those double doors. If anyone ever travels to Y.C, stop by the musuem for a small tour. They are in the process of repairing, but there is still so much to see.

My personal area of interest is the art and how it reflects the culture of the Delta. My class is planning a three day field trip to the Delta area in early April and it is my responsibility to make contact with someone who might be able to give us a tour and background of a museum of the arts. I hoped that the Delta Blues Museum might be the right place to go. If someone could please E-mail me at mb3131@students.rcsd.ms that would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Molly Brantley Greetings,
