The McNutt House

The McNutt House (Circa 1826) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the 2nd oldest home in Vicksburg's Historic Downtown District. What sets the McNutt House apart from other venues in Vicksburg, beyond the facilities, is our goal to ensure your event fulfills your vision. Since the caterer and vendors are key components of your event we impose no restrictions on the caterers or vendors you choose. Events booked with the McNutt House include indoor and outdoor weddings, wedding receptions, birthday parties, showers, women’s club events, sweet 16 parties, teen dances, reunions, social events, business meetings and multi-day seminars.

The first floor of the McNutt House is an ideal setting for a small indoor wedding or other smaller events to include business meetings, banquets, rehearsal dinners, baby and wedding showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, socials and most any other type special event you may have. The parlor and adjoined dining room can accommodate 40-50 persons for wedding or socials and approximately 36 persons for a banquet depending upon type tables used and their layout. The adjacent sunroom contains a wet bar and is well suited for a buffet or use by your caterer as a staging area. A staircase leads to the McNutt Suite that may be added to the rental package (subject to availability) ideal for use as the bride’s dressing chamber. Lovely his and her lavatories are present on the first floor. Tables and chairs are included in the rental rate.

Maggie's Hall has an open floor plan consisting of approximately 900 sq' of usable floor space well suited for medium sized banquets, training, off-site meetings, socials, sweet 16 parties and events having a DJ. The structure includes a full galley style kitchen perfect for use as a caterer staging area or buffet line. The "Dutch" door may be closed to hide the kitchen or leave the lower half closed for use as a server or bartender station. There are two double door entries to the hall with the side leading directly into the courtyard. Tables and chairs are included in the rental rate.

If you are planning an outdoor event you need look no further. The McNutt House has a lovely terraced courtyard with multiple spots perfect for a garden wedding. A large deck overlooks the gardens and water features shaded by the area's oldest Japanese Magnolia tree. The paths, patios, decks and gazebo area offer ample sitting areas as well as mix and mingling space for very large social events, reunions, retreats and picnics. BBQ grills and a full kitchen may be made available. Construction of an additional deck, another patio area and several new gardens is scheduled for completion in early spring of 2011.
