We are thrilled to share that Luke and Julie Montagu, the Earl and Countess of Sandwich, will be joining us in Natchez as our keynote speakers for the Grand Opening of the 2026 Living History Natchez Spring Tour of Homes!
They will share stories of history, heritage, preservation, and the deep personal journey of caring for an ancestral estate, followed by an intimate meet-and-greet experience with guests. This is a true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for lovers of history, architecture, and old-world tradition.
Luke Montagu, 12th Earl of Sandwich, is heir to centuries of British heritage and serves as steward of Mapperton Estate in Dorset, one of England’s finest Jacobean manor houses. His work in preservation and estate restoration has been recognized internationally, and he has become a leading voice on safeguarding historic legacies for future generations.
Julie Montagu, Countess of Sandwich, is an American-born speaker, author, and television personality known for her educational content on European aristocratic history and historic homes. She is the founder of American Countess, a beloved media platform exploring Britain’s grand estates and the people who preserve them. Julie is recognized for her warmth, charm, and ability to connect audiences with history in accessible, memorable ways.
Together, Luke and Julie are advocates for heritage preservation, storytelling through architecture, and community engagement; themes that align beautifully with the mission of Living History Natchez.
