Natchez

Stretching over 440 miles, the Natchez Trace has been traveled by many.

Sections of the original road, however, followed ancient Native American trails that had been in use for thousands of years before European explorers arrived in North America.

Even though the wait was long, the crew was very welcoming.…

However, she stood tall and strong, showing she would go through any obstacle to help her family. Shocked and taken back, the hunter smiles at the old woman stating, “Take my advice and stay home and nothing will happen to…

I had a great time on the Natchez Steamboat. It was amazing to watch the Mississippi River push us along itself with the help of the Natchez’s paddle. I also enjoyed our lunch because it was wonderful. But, I felt like there were not many choices for our lunch. After we ate, we went to see the steam room.
