The Natchez Pilgrimage, held each spring and fall since 1932, is one of the longest-running home and garden tour traditions in the American South, in which private antebellum homes open to the public and residents dress in period costume as a community civic ritual. The tradition was founded by the Pilgrimage Garden Club and has continued uninterrupted for over 90 years, making it a living cultural institution rather than a static historic event.
