We had a nice stay at the Riverboat Bed & Breakfast and had a delicious homemade breakfast of muffins, bacon and eggs.
She also had the most awesome dachshund named "Stink Pot Alice" who was seriously adorable and of course the girls loved her too!
The owner of the Riverboat gave us history of the place and it had been in her family for generations. There were pictures all around of her ancestors too.
We got a great and informative history tour of Natchez on a carriage ride. We learned a lot about the town and some of the people that lived there.
A look down the street with businesses
William Johnson House
Mr Johnson kept a diary of life in Natchez from 1836-1851 and was a free black man.
Magnolias everywhere!
Many of these homes are now private residences.
There are several homes open for tours or are operating bed and breakfast. They have many festivals and pilgrimages to see the antebellum homes. Due to Covid and the hurricane Delta, the tours we planned on attending were closed. It was still very interesting to walk around the town and see the homes. Many of corners had informational signs about the buildings.
The following weekend of our visit was their annual balloon glow!

Rosalie Mansion built in 1820-1822
This property overlooks the Mississippi River.
Coffee for the road!
We got back on the Natchez Trace road to visit Emerald Mound.
It is the second largest mound north of Mexico.
