Welcome to our historic home tour of this incredible historic mansion, and it's museum worthy collections. Richmond offers us a textbook look at the architectural evolution of the built environment of the late eighteenth century through the mid-nineteenth century.
The property was originally owned by Juan St. Germaine, a Native American interpreter. Local and family tradition claim a first construction date of 1784 for the mansion, though other sources use a ca. 1800-1810 date based on details of the original interior's Federal style woodwork.[
In 1832, the property was purchased for $7,500 by Levin R. Marshall, a wealthy banker and planter who was the first president of the Commercial Bank. Shortly after, the furniture, which is still there, was shipped from New York City. Improvements were made in 1832, and by 1840, the house had been extended to the west with an addition in the Greek Revival architectural style. A third section was added in 1860.
Marshall was a wealthy businessman. His son, George, married a daughter of the very rich planter David Hunt and resided at Lansdowne. Richmond passed to Marshall's widow upon his death at age 69 in 1870, and was still occupied by the Marshall family in 2011.
Join us in to see this stunning home in person and get the full tour during Spring Pilgrimage 2025, March 27-30 and April 3-6. Two weekends only and limited tickets! Tickets available soon!

What a delightful tour guide. Her memories of the place are priceless.

[@David-tm8sl]

Richmond is such a rare treasure of intact furnishings and floor and wall coverings. Truly a walk back in time. So great to see homes that have never been restored but have lovingly been preserved by each succeeding generation.

[@CS-bn4un]

Oh my goodness, the photo of her seated aunt serving tea or coffee at the end of table flooded my mind with memories of my grandmother, her friends, and even my mother and her friends in my youngest years. Such was common at special events in our family home when I was a young child!

[@jenihansen7201]

This was such a lovely tour by a lovely lady. Thank you.

[@karenwright9123]

Now this is different. I like the Greek Revival part best. Lots for the eye to see, beautiful drapes and furniture. Thanks for the tour, you are all so nice.😊

[@AprilClayton]

I never realized how much preserved history there is in Mississippi. My aunt came from there to Michigan, and my mom’s family were a little unaccepting of her fancy ways. Now I wish I could have gotten to know her better.

[@lisaknell1809]

What a beautiful home. If those walls could talk! The tour guide was great and I loved hearing about her family! ❤️

[@infinitelightcouncil]

Always loved that Creole cottage that centers the whole thing.

[@SpanishEclectic]

The history is strong with this one. Really fascinating to see the three styles so clearly. And what a terrific collection of bathing items! This may sound odd, but I always feel that furniture and other items that have been surrounded/used by the same people for decades retain a bit of of their energy. I can so easily imagine the parties, as well as the lady of the house and her staff at their daily tasks. There are so many beautiful things in this home, but what makes them truly special is their history, and the personal stories passed down by this family.

[@JessicaMathias3]

Best thing to wake up to!

[@lisaharrod8386]

A bit disjointed, a bit creepy, and utterly fascinating. The three builds are so distinct from one another and easy to distinguish; chock-full of period furniture and artifacts. I love that it has not been overhauled and modernized. The home(s) appear to have been left in their original state, for the most part, and one can really feel the ambience of the time periods. Just a truly unique experience touring this place. A truly lovely video journey...thank you RN for bring us another remarkable home!❤

[@claudiamann7111]

What an amazing home. It is in such good condition. Three so distinct homes. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@AppealToHeaven]

Very interesting to see the distinct builds. My 1st thought was "oh I love that hyphen!" But no, it is the original house! Gracious hostess. Thanks for sharing.

[@bonniebertrand1189]

I really enjoyed her tour. But I really enjoy when you take us through a home, because the information you give is like you are teaching a class in architecture. I have learned so much from you!!

[@justindgarner1347]

Chopin’s prelude in E minor was well-chosen. It’s a lovely piece, and very fun to play! 😀

[@stanleywest2619]

Wow! Richmond truly is beautiful and so much history, architecture, family treasures etc. I hope Richmond remain preserved with all it's contents, family heirlooms, history, architecture etc. as it is for future generations to come. Thanks for showing us this gem in Natchez and of course all the other old homes .

[@wdgbirmingham2]

This is the most beautiful home tour video you've ever made. The music was perfect. I love love love her accent, as a Southerner myself she out-Southerns me, just melodic and beautiful 💜

[@5wheels521]

❤❤❤,,, Yet another beautiful home,,,, loved the owner, 😊

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

Gorgeous! I'm so glad that it remains intact and in the family. 🙏❤️🙏

[@Spookyboi1893]

The columns creating the architraves around the doors and windows are *chefs kiss*

[@ginajackson8482]

That was absolutely wonderful. Natchez is full of treasures. Can't wait for Pilgrimage in the Spring. Thank you so much Lane and Kevin!

[@TeresaSchlomer]

Laine, Honey you look fantastic,I love your new look. This house tour was also beautiful and the history is. amazing. And Kevin's infomercial was great lol.... Stay safe, much love and many blessings❤❤❤

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

Love it! Never have I seen any of those tubs and especially that shower! To have three different styles of house(s) in one is a feat all by itself. And the intricate details of so many items in the house, well, it is just a sight to see and behold. Makes me want to start touring there and even in my state of Virginia where we have many historical properties. After all, Richmond is here too!

[@Susie-n1f]

Magnificent!! Sweet tour guide, Thank you!

[@bdeck1912]

Just lovely. ❤️❤️❤️

[@DD-th2bd]

Wow! That seems like a museum! Makes me feel like I need to take my shoes off to tour, stunning!

[@loridodson1697]

Fascinating! Can’t wait to tour Richmond in March!

[@what1dreamt]

That coffee service... GORGEOUS!!

[@David-tm8sl]

I painted a watercolor of Richmond many years ago and I was delightfully surprised to see it hanging in the central hallway!

[@OurRestorationNation]

Oh how fabulous!!

[@justindgarner1347]

Gorgeous house!!!! The cinematic shots were well-executed , and I enjoyed them very much. It really does showcase this amazing home!

[@mwrcrft]

Thanks for sharing this great old house.

[@BradVaughn]

Wonderful guided tour. This channel always come through to give me an "old house" fix.

[@donaldstrickland8093]

Such a gorgeous home

[@joelcole8950]

❤❤❤ one heart for each section…

[@LoisLovell-mc9er]

Just wow!! Thanks for sharing!

[@jeanmullins3284]

❤❤❤ Great tour of a great home. How wonderful to have that much family history and living in your family's home.❤❤❤ Would love to hear more about the ghosting! Was that in jest or true?

[@greengold7648]

Beautiful home! Awesome video, as always! Thank you!

[@Jean-sv6kk]

As always...magnificent!!! Just love the history!!! ❤❤❤ from Pennsylvania ❤❤❤ 😊😊😊😊

[@kristindacus8642]

Incredible home.

[@edwinfickel9039]

Thanks! From Brazil!

[@stephenburns3678]

Delightfull. Thank you.

[@AuntieBrennie]

Enchanting tour! Love the different, distinctly unique build dates. I wish that I could travel, but so glad that you provide these videos. At the 7:09 TimeStamp ~ I'm especially impressed with the duel-historic feature of a photo and the actual tea service set! That made me bark with glee! Love this amazing place! B~}

[@therealsoutherngarden]

Look forward to watching💚💚

[@opus27no2]

Glorious. I must visit.

[@michellepergeau-dudgeon2945]

What a great tour! Did I miss how or why they named it Richmond? I’m always curious how people give their homesteads the names they do.

[@PlannerMemaw]

My mom told us that the whole family used the same bathwater. She was one of 11 children. They lived on a two bedroom home.

[@Jeannified]

Beutifulhome! I’d be trying to get a key made for that beautiful black piano! I wonder if you could find one on eBay.

[@jenihansen7201]

I love the music with this video in the beginning. Thank you. It is so relaxing. Do you know the name of the piece ?

[@lisalemberis5195]

I love it! Thank you so much for showing us! Do you know why the 3rd part exterior is built more plain ( i dont even know what style to call it). Was it more plain simply bc it was at the back of the house?

[@OurRestorationNation]

It’s hard to say but that’s as good a guess as any.

[@sandysimmer1279]

I would have loved seeing the upstairs! Ghosting or not...

[@adelaidemorningstar1870]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@nadinemasteller1089]

Someone must go upstairs for cleaning and maintenance.

[@bellabella9181]

I'd love to see the pianos restored they are meant to be played. A piano lock is easily picked its just one lever. lol There are musical societies that would definitely help with the cost of restoration.

[@michaelhealy1590]

I got fooled, since I would have thought the brick addition was Federal and added before the Greek Revival addition

[@sophisticatedswine7172]

If you ever get the piano unlocked, that is missing some ivory on the keys, just respond to this comment as I have extra ivory piano keys and would love them to go to a good home. Beautiful Grand Dame! ;o)

[@susiebohrer3595]

Can you explain the state of the top of the chimneys? They look to be closed off. Thanks

[@sylviajones4907]

Sobering tub...ok, if that man spent all that time & $ to get drunk, then they come home & get thrown in there to sober up, he probably would be worse to put up with. But i guess it was pay-back to throw him in that cold water & leave him there all night NOT TO DROWN. 😂 Thank you for the tour. Loved it.

[@01Mary02]

@14:20 Does your mother haunt this house?
