Go deep into the antebellum South on this stunning tour of Mississippi’s Natchez Trace—an ancient trail with deep roots in Native American culture. During this eye-opening tour, your VBT trip leaders will help you experience all sides of Mississippi’s past and present—including a stop at the Civil Rights Museum, a tour of grand southern plantations, a visit to an ancient Native American burial ground, and a tour of the historic Civil War battlefield at Vicksburg. Along the way, you’ll also discover vibrant local cultural traditions during a southern gospel choir performance and lunch at an historic home in Port Gibson. During your two nights in historic Vicksburg, you’ll find yourself steeped in southern traditions—perhaps even relaxing on the very balcony from which Jefferson Davis made one of his final public speeches.
Tour Highlights
- Roll through centuries of history along the Natchez Trace Parkway, a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road.
- Ponder the legacy of the Civil War at the ruins of the Windsor Plantation.
- Relive the Siege of Vicksburg on a guided tour with a local historian as you tour Vicksburg National Military Park by bicycle.
- Visit the sprawling Emerald Mound, one of the largest Native American ceremonial sites.
- Customize your own “Pilgrimage” of Natchez’ stately antebellum homes.
This VBT trip exceeded expectations. The mansions we stayed in were stunningly beautiful, and the rides along the Natchez Trace were lovely and well paced. Of special note, was the day riding through the Vicksburg National Park and seeing all the monuments and learning about the battle of Vicksburg. The guides and extra activities were marvelous, as were the meals and friendly folks we rode with and met along the trail.
