Natchez Walking Tour

Natchez, United States

Why Walk Natchez

Natchez sits on a high bluff above the Mississippi River and predates the United States — the Natchez people lived here for centuries before French colonists arrived in 1716. By the 1850s it was one of the wealthiest cities per capita in America, its fortune built on cotton and enslaved labor. Over 1,000 antebellum structures survive, more than any comparable city. The Natchez Trace Parkway, tracing an ancient trail, begins here.
