Myrtle Bank is a historic house in Natchez, Mississippi, USA.
Sir William Dunbar surveyed the land in the 18th century. [2] It was granted to George Overarker, a planter, in 1795. [2] Overarker, who also owned Hawthorne Place and Hope Farm, built Myrtle Bank prior to 1818. [2]
By 1835, Alfred Cochran and his wife Eliza, who was William Dunbar's great-granddaughter, purchased the house. [2] Two decades later, in 1856, it was purchased by Benjamin Wade, a planter. [2] Wade leased it to The Natchez Young Ladies Institute, a girl's boarding school, until the outset of the American Civil War in 1861. [2] The house remained in the Wade family until the 1870s. [2]
The house was restored by a new owner in 1957. [2]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 22, 1978. [3]

Church Hill is a small unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Mississippi, United States. It is located eight miles east of the Mississippi River and approximately 18 miles north of Natchez at the intersection of highway 553 and Church Hill Road. Church Hill was a community of wealthy cotton planters before the American Civil War. Soil erosion, which had been going on since well before the Civil War, caused the area to decline into a poor farming community with none of the land under cultivation by 1999. The area is remarkable because its antebellum buildings are mostly intact with few modern buildings having been built.
