**Nutt Family Cemetery Longwood House Natchez**
Construction was begun on Longwood House in 1860. It was to be a "town house" for Haller and Julia Nutt and their children. Haller Nutt was a millionaire businessman and planter and was a Federal sympathizer.
The house is reputed to be the "grandest octagonal house in America" and is a superb example of mid-19th century Oriental style. The War Between the States halted construction. Many of the craftsmen, who had come from the North, simply left their tools and hurried home.
The Nutt Family Cemetery is on the grounds of Longwood, the family's town home in Natchez, Mississippi. It is a short walk from the house to the cemetery down a wooded path.
