Set your own pace for discovery on this flexible itinerary, as we follow the commercial traffic-free Natchez Trace Parkway from the eerie ghost town of Rocky Springs to the thriving community of Natchez, where the opulent pre-Civil War era is proudly preserved. Along the way, we’ll marvel at scenic vistas and probe our nation’s past in the company of a local expert. And we’ll experience contemporary Southern pride firsthand at the accommodations we have selected—including two inns that have earned national recognition.
