Late summer blooms around Elms Court 🌿

The first red Lycoris of 2026 (also known as surprise lilies or September lilies) appeared right on cue on September 1 beside the east wing. Nearby, a lovely peach-colored Lycoris added its own soft touch, while white Lycoris bloomed beside the library and beautifully lined the driveway.

One of the sweetest signs that summer is slowly giving way to fall at Elms Court.

Some details can be admired in a photograph, but their true meaning can only be shared in person. ✨

Plan your next visit to Elms Court during Spring Pilgrimage 2027 and hear the treasured family stories and rich history behind every room, heirloom, and carefully preserved detail.

A sweet glimpse into the McKittrick family history at Elms Court. 🤍

Pictured are sisters Grace McKittrick, mother of Elms Court’s current owners, and her older sister, Catharine “Trix” McKittrick, later Mrs. McRae. Though Grace was the younger of the two, she was indeed the taller!

This charming portrait was taken right here in Natchez at the Norman Studio, whose name can still be seen embossed on the original photograph cover.

We treasure photographs like this - not only for the faces they preserve, but for the stories, relationships, and generations that make up the history of Elms Court.

A Legacy Built to Last. 🤎

One of Elms Court’s most remarkable features is the collection of original structures that still stand proudly on the property. Among them is this magnificent brick barn, where the estate’s original horse-drawn carriages and saddles are carefully preserved - offering a glimpse into the daily life of a grand Southern estate.

Every brick, beam, and carriage tells a story, making history feel beautifully alive at Elms Court. 🌿

Our new wallpaper has found its perfect complement with the return of the furnishings, artwork, and treasured décor that make Elms Court feel so timeless. Every room tells a story, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to experience it in person.

Your next opportunity to tour Elms Court will be during Spring Pilgrimage 2027. Until then, we’ll be sharing little glimpses of what’s waiting behind these historic doors.
