We arrived at approximately 5:30 p.m. and the gate was open. We drove back the long lane and saw the sign that indicated the tour fee if going beyond the next fence. We entered only to find NO one around and the house not opened. We drove back the long lane only to find that the gate we had just entered was closed. We felt like we were in the ...

We just got a brochure for Springfield which clearly states they are open year round 9:30am to sunset. Imagine our surprise when we drove 2 hrs to get there (at 1:30pm on 7/25) to find the gates closed. I'll tell my friends not to bother.

We loved visiting this old home and found Mr. de la Salle most interesting. but I wonder what has become of this unique place since his death.the history of this place is fascinating!

We visit the Natchez area almost annually. We have visited almost every plantation home within a large radius of Natchez. We drove out of the way to see Springfield based on the brochure. It would be a facinating home to tour if only the old man would have given us the home's history rather than sitting us down to hear him rant about the ...

we have known Mr. LaSalle for many years. He is absolutely a treasure trove when it comes to history and more recognition should be given. Springfield Plantation would no longer exist if it would have not been for Mr. LaSalle. At one time it was used for hay storage. He certainly saved that beautiful house. Yes, there is a certain dislike for ...

The tour guide was a lonely old man with unlimited knowledge. The house was stunning and the furnishings were impressive. The best feature of the plantation was the grounds. They were beautiful and the peace and tranquility was intoxicating!!

It was however hard to find and the house is in need of repairs.

This was a very interesting place to visit.
Loaded with history and the unexpected.
Unlike all the other cookie cutter plantations in the area this one stood out on it's own. The landscape was outstanding but most of all inside was a real treat. Original all the way. Mr. LaSalle (our tour guide) was very informative and polite. We loved the tour very much and will return next year.

Springfield Plantation is the life's work of Arthur LaSalle. My wife and I have known Mr. LaSalle since 1978 when we first visited Springfield. His devotion to the plantation and to it's preservation have been constant and unswerving. Though some may see him as rather eccentric, when you know his background you realize that he is just ...

I knew we were in trouble when we started to walk toward the house and saw about 30-50 feral cats outside. I've seen historical homes in a state of preservation (Drayton Hall) so I wasn't turned off by the exterior or interior of the house. Mr. LaSalle was a character, and did a lot of talking about English (Queen) history. He ...
