Managing Historic Home Tours and Natchez Trace Entry
While Natchez is a public town, many historic sites are privately owned and require separate admission tickets. During the Spring and Fall Pilgrimage seasons, home tour schedules change daily and should be verified with the official visitor center. Entry to the Natchez Trace Parkway is free, but overnight stays at local historic inns should be secured well in advance due to limited heritage room inventory.
