Experience a direct link to the past on the Old Trace Drive, a short, scenic loop that allows you to drive directly on a preserved section of the original Natchez Trace. Imagine the footsteps of Native Americans, European settlers, and “Kaintucks” (flatboatmen) who once trod this very path. This unique drive offers a tangible connection to the history of the Parkway, allowing you to feel the uneven terrain and envision the journeys of those who came before. It’s a truly immersive historical experience.
