Melanie and I fell in love with Monmouth our first stay. , everything was so beautiful. The staff still includes four from our first stay and they became family to us. Hal, Miss Mary and Nichelle and Stretch the cat . During our 10th stay we met the owners, Nancy and Warren Ruther, two of the nicest people ever. Our later trips we got to spend time with them a few times and our visits were always enjoyable. Yes, for those that have never had the chance to stay at Monmouth, make a point to do it and you will love this beautiful mansion and the awesome grounds. Melanie and I have had 23 stays here and every stay was so enjoyable. We plan on many more in the future.
I visited in the mid 90’s! I remember the portraits !! My sister in law and I did a tour in the Spring! We had a wonderful time, but we’ve never been back!! Mammoth was not a restaurant then!!
My son is a Marine. Stripes on Marine trousers were ordered by President Andrew Jackson in the 1830's. They were originally white. In 1839 the color was changed to red to match the facings of their jackets. The Mexican American war did not begin until 1846. The blood stripes existed 7 years prior to the war. The legend of the blood stripe created in memory of the battle of Chapultepec is just that a legend
I like to see a perfectly good building being used and preserved, thanks for showing these places, we need a channel like this for other parts of the country too, you guys do such a great job.
Monmouth is quite a historic home and inn; and would make a great place to stay during a visit for Spring Pilgrimage. Thank you for the wonderful and informative tour.
Such an attractive property,well appointed,the furnishings,on point. I love the idea of the B and B and restaurant to enable this home to continue existence,we all need to preserve beauty ,elegance and gracious living. Civilized people are I'm afraid dwindling. As we observe you trying to hang on to treasured history their are those in the process once again to destroy it. When we don't remember the past we are doomed to repeat it. I'm glad to see there wasn't a hint of a suggestion that this home was haunted. I think it really ruins the idea of elegance and beauty when people believe the dead still roam their past dwellings. The resurrection of the dead has not happened. It is gloomy thought to think and makes it a place I wouldn't spend a minute at. But I really like this one.
My wife and I have stayed at Monmouth in Natchez. We stayed in the summer months.Wonderful experience that we have never forgotten.The food, the staff, and all of the beautiful gardens are so enjoyable. Along with the history of this city and the homes, Natchez is a great place to visit. We have spent time in the cemetary as well.
Such a beautiful presentation of the gym of NATCHEZ MISSISSIPPI! Such a Lovely idea to share your knowledge of such a beautiful historical Inn. Thank you.
Félix Grundy actually sold his Extremely Significant Historical Home to President Polk… 16:11 Located right beside The Nashville Capitol Hill Building. Which was Rosary Hill Cathedral before…being established as what it is today…by The Generosity of Honorable Gentlemen of the Era. There are Magnificent Magnolias still there… I Love that Mississippi Honors those trees… Legends Claim…They Promote Fidelity Amongst The Finest Men in the Country built and maintained The extraordinary capital structure…and were honored with Statues. The Stallion Statue…is reminiscent of Jackson Square at King Louis’ Cathedral in New Orleans! There was The Lovely …Jacksonian A Chateau Style Home Right on Broadway & West End Fitting…for that street…led to Belle Meade Monmouth is a Treasure What Magnificent Trees! So Free to be! Thank You Kevin, for supporting different manner of maintaining the integrity of our beloved Forests… The Bedet was used in France even in the 1700’s…!!! Being incorporated into more Badezimmer is my goal… Thank You ❤❤❤
Lovely tour. And especially good choice of music! Nice balance of history and tasteful decor. Love the red camellias. I'm sure the beautiful grounds are really spectacular in spring/summer.
I'm viewing the beautiful house and listing to the fascinating history...and now, a brief history of toilet paper. :) It may be an ad, but it sure got my attention. Love hearing the history of pretty much anything. Oh, and I subscribed to the TP delivery - thanks!
@@OurRestorationNation We had a horrible invasion of bamboo when I was kid. One of my chores was to try and control it. I'm all for turning that stuff into something useful!
I must be an old soul...just❤this era of furnishings. Does anyone know what that item is called or named that she flipped around, on the mantle? Curious. T Y in advance.
I am looking for a home Union, Gone with the Wind style but I want pecan trees, orchard, black cherry trees, black birch, muscadines, a space for a vegggie garden, hen house (with at least one rooster ) and a green house.
@@michaelcheli5842 😁😊 No, 😁I actually forgot the clear creek /year round spring, sweet well water, good soil, pasture land for a couple of horses, and wooded land. If you’re going to dream, dream big. I’ve got two green thumbs so the orchard, grapes, berries, garden, wind tunnel/ greenhouse I can do but pecan tree/s, I’d hope for established ones. The creek or spring and good well water is important to me. I want good fertile soil although I know how to build better soil. I want to make my surroundings beautiful. I love flowers that smell good but gardenias a distance away where the wind could carry a hint towards the house . Did you know there was a rose - orange - that was called orange marmalade and its fragrance? Orange. Marmalade. That was a surprise!
There are a couple of words I don't understand. She says "cartly" in reference to the sculpture at minute 8:47. Prior to that she describes a vase as being from "so France" I guess that could mean South. What do you think?
This might be a dumb question... Is it uncommon for people to pressure wash or clean their brick walkways, patios, garden walls? I notice a lot of people leave the moss & stains. I'm in Northeast Ohio & we pressure wash all that stuff. Not one dirty brick up here in the north! Historic property or not. And yes, the moss grows just as quickly up here, even in winter!
We do occasionally pressure wash our hard surfaces. But these early bricks are not hard fired and pressure washing would destroy them. Plus we think a little moss is charming.
@@OurRestorationNation Ah ha! Digging up our backyard for some gardens, I came across a bunch of bricks. Some of them just disintegrate when pulled out of the ground. They must not be hard fired either! I wondered about that! I learn something new every week with you guys!
There's a very special place in Hell for people who chop Historic homes up into apartments. It's the same place where people who paint windows shut go.
The Greeks made the most appealing grandeur with their signature lines. Add to this the Mind of Frank Lloyd Wright and there resides my interest. (Keep all Victorian, it is a particular taste, not for me, it's heavy, dark, cluttered, and makes me feel confined. Open up and flow with light and space, various whites and neutrals set off with reds and gold leaf, or color of choice and details. It is a beautiful pallet to experience.
The war wasn't between Mexico and America. Mexico is also on the American continent. It was between Mexico and the United States, in part over Texas becoming part of the United States and over the border between Texas and Mexico (Nueces River versus the Rio Grande River).
I must have had a past life in this period, the Greek Revival speaks to me. What a beautiful place, inside and out.
Ditto
Me too! I love houses from the 1800's!
@@elizabethengquist4185 😁💗💕❣️
I often think about how I would love to go back in time for a couple weeks and experience it all...
@@susanlee9532 haha..I was gonna say the exact same thing!
I have visited Monmouth. I had dinner and stayed overnight. It was spectacular!!

We had breakfast there a few weeks ago. The staff are absolutely fantastic! What a delight!
Our uncle William Garbo Jr designed the grounds. My husband and I honeymooned at Monmouth. Very special place to our family..
Another gorgeous place….a dream is an understatement. A beautiful and rich history speaks to my heart.
I have so many wonderful memories in this incredible home & on the grounds! Truly a gathering place for those who love history ❣
Laine, I noticed that Kevin was really on a ROLL advertising for toilet paper😂. Couldn’t help myself 😂
😂😂😂
Hey I’ve been there! The grounds are just as beautiful as the mansion!
I remember when Bob Villa came here back in the 80s/90s!

Thanks Kimberly. We have one rule here in Natchez tourism: never correct the homeowner. So, we follow the rule.
I like to see a perfectly good building being used and preserved, thanks for showing these places, we need a channel like this for other parts of the country too, you guys do such a great job.
Not sure who is Managing this Historic House, but WOW! KUDOS!!!!
The homes just say grace, & class.
Monmouth is quite a historic home and inn; and would make a great place to stay during a visit for Spring Pilgrimage. Thank you for the wonderful and informative tour.
What a magnificent place! I look forward to visiting Natchez one day.
Beautiful home/hotel and presentation.
Thank you.

Such a Lovely idea to share your knowledge of such a beautiful historical Inn.
Thank you.
This looks like the House from "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte"
Love that this beautiful place has been restored! It makes me actually I’ll when I see homes just left to decompose or badly redone. Thank you.
Our history must be preserved.
Love this history. You did a wonderful job. Beautiful
One of my favorite places in Natchez! ❤
Another Beautiful Home!!! Thank You!!
What a beautiful mansion. The grounds and hardscape are gorgeous!
Wow! I’d love to stay there sometime - absolutely beautiful !
Félix Grundy actually sold his Extremely Significant Historical Home to President Polk… 16:11 Located right beside The Nashville Capitol Hill Building. Which was Rosary Hill Cathedral before…being established as what it is today…by The Generosity of Honorable Gentlemen of the Era.
There are Magnificent Magnolias still there…
I Love that Mississippi Honors those trees… Legends Claim…They Promote Fidelity
Amongst The Finest Men in the Country built and maintained The extraordinary capital structure…and were honored with Statues.
The Stallion Statue…is reminiscent of Jackson Square at King Louis’ Cathedral in New Orleans!
There was The Lovely …Jacksonian
A Chateau Style Home
Right on Broadway & West End
Fitting…for that street…led to Belle Meade
Monmouth is a Treasure
What Magnificent Trees!
So Free to be!
Thank You Kevin, for supporting different manner of maintaining the integrity of our beloved Forests…
The Bedet was used in France even in the 1700’s…!!!
Being incorporated into more Badezimmer is my goal…
Thank You

Such a beautiful place
It’s really lovely
As someone who owns a huge house they are nice to look at but expensive as hell to upkeep

We actually love the TP!!! And LOOVVVVEEE that it’s made from the menace to our garden, bamboo!

Beautiful
Beautiful.
Beautiful place! I’d love to stay there sometime, whenever I finally get to Natchez!
Kitty! 🐈⬛ 💗
What is that interesting rotating piece on the side table at 12:23?
Back when this home was first redone by The Riches it was Buzz Harper's finest work ❤
What is the silver item that she turned? Food warmer?
I must be an old soul...just❤this era of furnishings. Does anyone know what that item is called or named that she flipped around, on the mantle? Curious. T Y in advance.
So lovely.
Beautiful 😍

Oh, is that all ? 😂 I think we historic home lovers want and appreciate more than the average bear. 🐻

Zuber paper called "Scenes of North America". I have Zuber "Elderado" in my bed room.
What is the name of the lovely musical piece played at approximately 12:23 or 12:30? I found it so beautiful.
There are a couple of words I don't understand. She says "cartly" in reference to the sculpture at minute 8:47. Prior to that she describes a vase as being from "so France" I guess that could mean South. What do you think?
She’s saying Sevres, which is a famous porcelain maker in France . When pronounced it sounds like “Sev”. Cartley is the artist who carved the bust
Absolutely fabulous tour guys! Kevin has a great talent for selling TP! 😂
😂😂but we actually LOVE this stuff!!! Save the trees AND kill the invasive bamboo!?! WIN/WIN
I don’t need any toilet paper because I have a bidet. It is the best thing I have in my apartment.
