The House on Ellicott Hill
By Linda Tancs
The first American flag raised in Mississippi occurred on Ellicott’s Hill in 1797. The House on Ellicott Hill is one of the first houses built in Natchez. A National Historic Landmark, it boasts a two-story structure with double galleries and canted roof and is one of the earliest territorial buildings to exhibit the definitive characteristics of the Federal style. Located on Canal Street, the house is open for groups by appointment and during Spring, Fall and Christmas tour seasons.
