About

Only three national parks have more visitors each year than the Natchez Trace Parkway, a national park of great natural beauty and historical significance that follows a 450-mile course from Nashville, Tennessee, to Natchez, Mississippi. First used as a vital transportation link by Native Americans and later by "kaintucks" and frontiersmen, today the Trace is experienced by more than 13 million visitors a year.

“Traveling the Trace” explores the parkway and sights within 30 miles of either side of the Natchez Trace. In addition to the well-known stops, the authors visit side roads most tourists ignore or don't know exist. It is a guide to:

• 25 Civil War sites
• 73 antebellum homes
• 65 museums and art galleries
• 78 antique shops and malls
• 72 bed and breakfasts
• 56 campgrounds
• 175 restaurants
• 49 spots for water sports and a whole lot more
