Natchez NHP

Nestled atop steep bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, Natchez National Historical Park tells the stories of the people who have called this place home for thousands of years. From the early Native Americans who first settled here to the European colonists who established plantations along the river, Natchez National Historical Park is a window into our country's complex and diverse history. Today, visitors can explore a variety of historic sites and buildings, including an 18th-century fort, a Greek Revival mansion, and an African American cemetery.
