Why this spot
late 1700s to 1930 Natchez Trace farming town
A watering stop on the old Natchez Trace that grew into a cotton district of over 2,600 free residents and about 2,000 slaves by 1860. War, yellow fever in 1878, boll weevils and erosion emptied it, and the last store closed in 1930.View source →
