bragg-mitchell mansion

This house had a lot of original pieces from the houses owners. Very good tour with a lot of interesting information.

When in historical towns there are many homes in which to visit. It was not my intention to stop here but some how I ended up in the neighborhood and may the choice to view the home. I had my own town and enjoyed it very much

I have been to many plantation homes in Louisiana, so this was not new. It was your average plantation home of the early 1800s. Very clean and well kept. Good story.

Based on reviews we made this a stop on our way to the Natchez Fall Pilgramage. It was a perfect stop, the mansion and grounds were well kept and well appointed. Our tour guide was very sweet and importantly, very knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history of the property as well as the era. Worth a detour if you are anywhere in the vicinity.

I love the Bragg! I had my own wedding reception here in April 2011. This is the perfect venue for an outdoor party and use the inside for the cake etc. I'm so glad we had our reception here and I enjoy attending other ceremonies at the Bragg

This was one of THE best home tours we have ever experienced. We actually had a private tour that day; but we did go in the off season. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer every question we had about the architecture and the history. This place can be rented for weddings and other events; a unique idea for your gathering. The grounds were well kept but we where there when most of the landscape was dormant. I am sure it is absolutely beautiful in the spring and early summer. Would not recommend this as a visit with young children; short attention spans would become quickly bored.

When I knew I would be traveling to Mobile fro the first time, I put this Mansion on my list. Sadly, when I arrived they were closed on Mondays! I decided to wlk around the grounds and peek in the windows, not knowing that they were in fact staff inside tidying up after the weekend events. Souther hospitality at its finest, they came out and asked to help me! When I had said that I had come all the way form the Philadelphia area, to offered to give me a tour! It is so beautiful, I thanked them and left a donation. A must see!

We got married here on May 18th 2014. The site is absolutely beautiful. Its an easy to find location with lots of parking and well manicured grounds. We had the whole event outside under the oak trees and it went perfectly. The staff here are amazing people. Very sweet and welcoming! They went out of their way twice for us to return items we had left behind and it was very much appreciated. We planned this wedding from CA and they helped make it as easy as possible. Thank you all so much!

I only wish that I had an event to host in order to rent this beautiful place! It is one of the more beautiful homes I have toured in the South.

Received a tour from Ruth. What a hoot. Day was slow, and Ruth walked us around the two floors, explaining the house, history, artifacts, etc. Was a fascinating tour, and extremely educational. Found the connection between the original builder (Mr. John Bragg) to the Confederate General Braxton Bragg (brothers) very interesting. House built in 1855.

I guess the success of a visit to a historic home lies mostly in the skill of the docent. We had a young woman whose vocabulary was that of a high school student so she couldn't offer a whole lot of detail/description about things. There was a certain type of bed maker she mentioned a few times, but she said the name so quickly we never could figure out what she was saying. She also had a habit of speaking only to the people closest to her, so those of us not near her missed out on what she was telling them.Later on when we visited Bellingrath Gardens for their "Magic Christmas in Lights", we could have added the home tour for $9 each. We didn't do it because we had done it several years ago, but felt that the money we had spent on the B-M Mansion would have been better spent seeing the Bellingrath home that has a lot more to see with more knowledgeable docents.

Stopped by after seeing the reviews on TripAdvisor. It was a nice surprise. Ruth was the guide and what a lovely lady and really made the tour. It was nice chatting with her as we walked through the home. The historical information she shared was interesting. It wasn't just information, but stories of the two families that lived there. The furnishings in the home and displays were beautiful. The restoration is nicely done. My visit was early December and the home was decorated for Christmas and was beautiful. The grounds are lovely. The trees are stunning. If you like visiting historic homes or just love the old south this is a must see if you find yourself in the Mobile area.

this location is known as one of the oldest hunted houses in Mobile ,and I have had the pleasure of visiting it on more than a fwe occasions and I must say the mystic is always the same its beauty is timeless and the archetecture devine a must see when in Mobile

I love this old Mobile home. Have been to many wedding receptions here. You truly get the feel of early Mobile. Love the trees covered in moss, Azalea bushes in bloom are just beautifuland the grounds are so lovely

My wife and I arrived at 2:05. We saw the sign that said they give tours on the hour. There was no one on the tour when we arrived. We rang the bell anyway and was greeted by a tour guide. We were told we had to wait until 3:00 but were welcome to walk the grounds. It was 95 degrees outside. We were paying customers wanting a tour and could not get one because we were not there on the hour. I could understand if there were other people there. Poor treatment of your guests.
