Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The William Johnson House is a museum that was once the home of the free African-American barber William T. Johnson, who lived in Natchez. Born into slavery in 1809 and later emancipated by his owner in 1820, Johnson trained as a barber and became a successful entrepreneur with his barbershop, bathhouse, and bookstore. The story of his rise from slavery into a successful life became symbolic for freedom fighters around the country, and his diary was published in 1951 and later archived at the Louisiana State University. His mansion became part of Natchez National Historical Park through an act of Congress in 1990 and is open for the public to enjoy.
