The Southside Historic Neighborhood is where most of the antebellum homes are. This is the area that is in full bloom for the Annual Pilgrimage (end of March-April) showcasing homes open to the public for period dress, reenactments and a full Southern experience.
It is magical, and a must see! People come from all over the world to see these original homes.
