We were all excited to meet with Eric Berry last Friday
at the Natchez Manor Bed-and-Breakfast, where Mayor Dan Gibson presented him
with a historical marker for the Bluff City Savings Bank. Berry and his family
are the owners of Natchez Manor. Berry said he was “pleasantly surprised” to
learn that the rear addition to their business actually rests on the site that
was used by the bank. Bluff City Savings (1906 to 1913) was Natchez’s only
Black-owned bank. Berry is a former NFL football player. He played as a safety
with the Kansas City Chiefs. Note: A QR code will be attached to the marker to
provide detailed information the bank's history.
