Travel through history on the Natchez Trace Parkway
 Head south to Nashville, Tennessee, where there are tons of things to see and do. Then hop on the Natchez Trace Parkway for a unique historical experience. The Natchez Trace was a trail first used by Native Americans, then made into a road in the early 1800s and used by settlers and "Kaintucks" (farmers and boatmen from the Ohio River Valley who floated supplies down the Mississippi River to Natchez or New Orleans, then sold the goods and the boat and returned home on foot via the Natchez Trace). Now a part of the National Park System, the 444-mile long Natchez Trace Parkway (between Nashville, TN and Natchez, MS) has:
- No traffic lights
- No stop signs
- No commercial traffic
- A comfortable 55 mph speed limit
- Loads of historic points of interest to visit
- RV friendly parking at most points of interest
- Free RV campgrounds on the Parkway (and private full hookup campgrounds nearby)
