Mile marker 8.7 Old trace Exhibit Shelter

Across the Parkway behind you is a portion of the Old Natchez Trace - a wilderness road that grew from wild animal and Indian Trails. Traders, soldiers Kaintucks, postriders, circuit riding preachers, outlaws, settlers, and adventurers trampled a national road. Here is the Natchez Trace: a bond that held the southwest to the rest of the nation, a channel for the flow of people and ideas, a memorial to the thousands whose footsteps stamped into the American land.
