At first glance, this is just a grass covered hill. That's what my daughters said when we drove…read moreup, "It's so hot, and it's just a grass covered hill." But there is more here than meets the eye. Emerald mound is a man made hill, created by the Natchez people more than 500 years ago as a ceremonial center. It's the second biggest Native American mound in the country and the biggest in Mississippi. Several panels at the site help visitors envision what it would have looked like at that time and it's quite impressive. The mound is topped by two smaller mounds. Practical tips: You can check on the NPS website to make sure the site is open. We visited on a Friday in July and were the only people there. Plenty of parking and the site is just a short walk uphill. You can walk up the hill, but you aren't supposed to climb the smaller mounds (although a path in the grass showed that many have.) Entrance is free. Like my daughters noted, there is no shade and it can be hot. To find the mound, take the exit off the Natchez Parkway at mile marker 10. Follow Emerald Mound road for 1 mile. Stay straight, do not follow the larger 553 route to the right. We didn't see a sign at the turn off, and our cell reception was spotty, so we drove quite a few miles down 553 before we realized our error.

We are standing in the exact same place they were. Take the time to read about it and then decide if standing on hallowed grounds aren't worth more than just a grassy hill.

During an open morning in Jackson, we stumbled upon the museum and decided to explore and it was easily one of the most memorable parts of our trip. We started by being welcomed into the space. This museum intentionally documents the history of the civil rights museum specifically as it pertains to Mississippi. One of the docents shared that she volunteers at the museum because she remembers what it was like growing up in Mississippi as a white child and has committed her allyship to ensuring others can understand what she witnessed with a deep desire for a better future for Mississippi. It was amazing that there were other guests visiting the museum not just from other states like us, but from other countries as well! The true treat of the visit was stumbling upon the center of the museum, where the youngest freedom rider to every be imprisoned was speaking to a group of high school soccer players from Texas. He shared his story and how his activism started at such a young age. The high school students and myself were in awe of just his bravery and hearing what it was truly like to fight for what's right at such a young age. This museum tells an important story that sadly isn't over as the fight for equity and equality is never over. Yet, it's inspiring to know that there are committed individuals ensuring that in the deep South, these stories are documented and told for all those to honor and understand.

I came across this tour company on a Natchez travel site and I'm so glad I did. There was four of us, including my husband who is always hesitant to take a guided tour and two teenagers. We all loved it so much and are still talking about it. This tour is so much more than your average tourist trap carriage ride. When we arrived in Natchez on a hot Friday in July, the town seemed deserted. I became worried that maybe due to covid, the tours wouldn't be available. But when we turned the corner of canal and state street, there was the horse and carriage, just waiting for us. The tour takes roughly an hour. The driver is an authentic local who has lived in Natchez all his life. He is so nice and very funny! The horse is a Haflinger, small but strong and smart enough to know the route. Also adorable and clearly well taken care of. We received a history tour of Natchez, as we crisscrossed the city and saw many of the historic mansions (there are antebellum, colonial and Victorian homes here, several hundred altogether). We also learned about the lady's garden club aka the blue haired mafia and the elephant that arrived here as a royal present and escaped to stampede through town drunk (really!) . We also received recommendations for further sight seeing and for dinner in Natchez. We were even introduced to other people that the driver knew along the way. One lady came to the carriage with free fans because it was so hot. Southern hospitality at its finest! Since we were only in Natchez for a short time, the tour helped us get a real sense of the city. The tour is limited to 6-10 people at a time at the most but frequently you will have your own private tour. Carriage is very clean and you are outdoors the whole time. The carriage has a canopy to keep you out of the sun. We felt very safe! I believe we paid 20 dollars a person, and it was worth every penny. Natchez is so beautiful, I want to come back when times are more normal and tour some of the mansions.

The winding roads leading to Windsor ruins are filled with an intense green canopy where kudzu has turned a lot of the nearby landscape to jungle. Clouds darkened over these ruins as a heavy rain was only minutes away. The ruins themselves are easy enough to see from the road if you're looking carefully. However, the signage is primitive and the lonely information plaque provides only an overview. Context is lost here amidst the grey brittle columns that stand upright like giant pieces of used chalk. As I got out of my car, the scene appeared as a Roman ruin. However, getting closer revealed remnants of iron balustrades that hung from and bisected the tree-like columns. It suddenly became easy to assemble the plantation house in my mind. This was an expensive and monstrously large building. I've visited a few plantations over the years and any semblance of beauty is erased from my mind because I can't get past the horrors of slavery that was embedded into the fabric of these places. I pictured the owners standing at these balustrades looking out at the workers of their cotton fields. It doesn't mean I don't think people should avoid a visit to Windsor. On the contrary, I think it's an important placeholder of history and that's where I can't let go of context. I wish more were presented here besides romanticized remnants in a now lush green landscape.
