During your stay in The Mill Cottage, you may notice photographs of Learned’s Mill, a working cypress sawmill that operated in Natchez from 1828 until 1962. The Mill Cottage is named in honor of this mill founded by Andrew Brown in 1828. A skilled architect, an amateur scientist, and a cultured gentleman, Brown shaped the mill into a complex and sophisticated enterprise. In addition to being the oldest operating cypress sawmill in the South, Brown’s company was a near monopoly of the lumber business in Natchez and affected the entire economy of the area. Brown’s stepson, Rufus Learned, became a business partner and took over the mill when Brown retired. The mill was located at the foot of what is now Learned’s Mill Road, where Brown also built his home and gardens, known as Magnolia Vale.
