Natchez Visitor Center
Natchez Visitor Center
As the Two Tired Teachers prepared for our trip on the Natchez Trace Parkway, our first stop was the Natchez Visitor Center.
The Natchez Visitor Center is very RV friendly. At the Natchez Visitor Center, RVers are welcome to park for free for two nights.
They have fresh water and a 20 amp hookup at many of the spots in the parking lot. They also have a dump station in the parking lot. It is a great free starting point for the Natchez Trace.
All that is required to stay is signing in at the visitor center. They ask for a state where you're from and a phone number.
If your total lengtj is much over 40', you won't be able to get a site with the 20 amp hookup, but there are longer sites in the parking lot. Again this is free.
They visitor center for the Natchez Trace Parkway is not the Natchez Visitor Center. The Natchez Trace Visitor center is at mile marker 266 on the parkway in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Several people were in tents at the visitor center in Natchez. We felt very safe at this stop.

Visiting Historic Natchez, Mississippi
Historic Natchez, Mississippi began as a fort established by French colonists on the Mississippi River in 1716, but was ceded to Spain in 1763. Later, it became British territory, and finally became part of the United States after the Revolutionary War. It served as the capital of Mississippi and then was the first capital of the state of Mississippi.
As the southern terminus of the Natchez Trace, which connected Natchez to Nashville, Tennessee, it helped lead to the settlement of what was then the southwestern part of the United States.
Southern plantations - and slavery - became an important part of the city's economy and culture in the 1800s. After the war, its role as an important river port supported local industry, but both of those faded over time.
Today Natchez is a popular tourist destination, primarily for its historic sites, river-related activites and antebellum architecture.
