Mile marker 104.5 Brashears Stand & Old Trace Site

Two portions of the old wilderness road, the Old Natchez Trace, are preserved here. Nearly 500 miles long, it grew from Indian trails to a national road and communications link between the old southwest and the United States to the northeast. A short five minute loop walk to your left lets you see both sections and lets you stroll down a deeply eroded, sunken part of the Old Natchez Trace.
