Pleasant Hill Bed & Breakfast was originally built by John Henderson, a prosperous merchant, publisher of the local newspaper, and a founder of Natchez’ First Presbyterian Church. The original home was built on property that is now the location of another famous antebellum home, Magnolia Hall. That was circa 1811- 1835. Over a two-year period during the 1850’s Pleasant Hill was moved one block south on log rollers by oxen teams, a feat that would seem futile by today’s standards.
