Hope Farm, Historic residence in Natchez, United States.

Hope Farm is a house in Natchez, Mississippi, built in two stages: an English section dating from 1775 and a Spanish provincial section added by Governor Carlos de Grand Pré between 1780 and 1792. The later work added a gallery carried on sturdy, ornamented columns, so the building joins two construction phases and two colonial cultures.

Hope Farm began with a section built in 1775, when the English controlled the Natchez area. From 1780 to 1792, Spanish governor Carlos de Grand Pré built the main house and added the gallery with its sturdy, ornamented columns. Mary Routh Ellis sold the farm to Eli Montgomery in 1833, and it stayed in the Montgomery family for 90 years. In 1926, J. Balfour Miller and Katherine Grafton Miller bought it and founded the Natchez Pilgrimage.

Katherine Grafton Miller and her husband J. Balfour Miller bought Hope Farm in 1926 and founded the Natchez Pilgrimage, opening the house to visitors. Ethel Green Banta, a Natchez native, kept it on the pilgrimage for 35 years until she retired in 2018.

The house sits at a prominent street corner and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should note that damage from a fire in 2023 affected the structure and may impact access.

The house suffered major fire damage in 2023 that significantly affected its structure. Despite this loss, it remains an important record of colonial architecture in the region.
