The Historic Natchez, Mississippi! Along The Natchez Trace Part 1

[@annacleveland1938]

What a fun tour! Thanks for inviting us along.

❤❤❤

[@turnbullstravels735]

Thank you so much for mentioning the slavery history. Plantation tours that focus on beautiful decor and living without telling the whole story make me crazy.

[@tammypack3028]

Natchez is my favorite place on earth! Thank you for sharing it with others!

[@rainbug714]

Welcome to Mississippi! I live about an hour and half from Lorman and we make the trip a few times a year just to see Mr D and get some chicken. He is the sweetest, most genuine person. He is right about the love! You can really tell that he loves his job and customers. Love hearing him sing. Hope you enjoy my home state!

[@davidlegge8303]

I'm planning to drive the Trace in Spring 2022 so I'm taking lots of notes. Thanks for the great intro to Natchez, MS!

[@RVLifestyle]

We have a five-part series on the Trace...this is Part 1. We'll take you on the whole route.You will love it!

[@OurAmericanTravel]

Loved this video. I was born in Southern Mississippi and my mom grew up there but I have never made it to Natchez. I have a great memory of driving my grandmother up the Natchez trace to Tupelo to see a monument of a fallen family member on a Civil war monument. Thanks for the series I cannot wait to watch more.

My husband and Visit Natchez every year except during the pandemic. We have reservations to go in May 2022. I must say it is our favorite vacation spot. We love the history and the wonderful people there and lots of good food. We haven’t tried that Old Country Store fried chicken but I plan on putting it on our list. Thank you for sharing another to place visit. We love history and especially going in the beautiful homes. You need to check out the towers during Christmas holidays because the owner has it decorated and shows off her beautiful jewelry. Glad you shared this great video.

Thank you so much for spending time in MS. We have the best kept secret.

[@RalphSanabria]

Extremely exciting video I loved it two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼

[@anjahlandschaft2223]

Great timing. we're just now planning our trip up the trace with our dogs. Three groups of us will caravan. Thanks for sharing.

[@lindahollister5530]

Thank you for sharing. I have not heard of this. WOW, this is a Beautiful place. ❤❤❤❤

[@marilynwelther5823]

Really enjoyed this video. So much history in this area. See why you like it so much. Look forward to your future videos.

[@RVLifestyle]

Thank you! This is the first of a 5-part series on the Trace!

[@rvlifenliving6322]

I really enjoyed the video. I love history and you’ve made this place a must see on my list of places to travel.

[@RVLifestyle]

It's a great town and the Natchez Trace is awesome. We're doing a whole series on it and this is the first. Thanks so much!

[@benjaminrussell6719]

I used to live in Natchez. It has a lot of history but could be so much better of an area if the government would.focus on bringing in jobs to the area. The economy there is poor, sadly.

[@melindalaird9449]

It was so great meeting you Monday evening. I had to go back and find your first trip to Natchez and subscribe to your channel. What great adventures! Thanks for the return trip!

[@PhilipASmith-kp1sl]

Thanks for the video. I love the history of the town. Both sets of my grandparents and my Mom and Dad grew up in this town. A lot of wonderful memories.

[@briankish3757]

Anxious to ride the Trace on my motorcycle.

[@RVLifestyle]

We saw a lot of motorcycles on the Trace!

[@johnpowell5005]

Thank you for explaining where all the wealth came from that enabled these mansions to be built!

[@kymberlybelk9615]

The name Natchez is pronounced like matches. 😁 just couldn’t let that go unsaid. My hometown ❤️

[@littlerascal6112]

Thank you for sharing your adventure. I look forward to seeing you again.

[@bonniebrown6960]

I know I'm a little late finding this video. I have family that lives in Natchez Mississippi. I live in Ga., but my grandfather was from Mississippi. There were 9 siblings in that family. All have passed away except my grandfather's youngest sister. I still have several cousin's that live in Mississippi. I have visited Natchez several times growing up. The last time I was there was 17 years ago. It is so neat to be on one side of the river in Mississippi and drive across the bridge and then your in Louisiana. I used to love when my Uncle Clyde, and his wife Rita and his 2 kids Suzie and Bubba would come to visit us too. I also had an aunt Etta Faye and her family that lived there in Natchez too. My cousin Susie was the sweetest person. I used to love when we got see each other. Sorry for rambling. You brought back some great memories for me. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful video. Safe travels...!! ❤

[@rhondalyn100]

What a fun video! Don't you know I'm absolutely *famished* for fried chicken this very moment!!

[@wendywolfe7830]

I grew up in Florida, and never knew about this history that was so close! We’d love to use your travel guide and take our time checking it out!

[@gothicanimegirlsz3443]

Im about too move from New Orleans too Natchez i love this town 💕💕💕💕

[@alnolan8574]

Nice video Mike and Jen! Very informative.!Our best friends rode the Natchez Trace Parkway on bicycles last Fall.

[@bethsinclair1646]

Drooling.

[@a.j.pawlowski156]

We did the Natchez Trace 3 years ago, but didn't spend much time in Natchez. After this vid, it's on my bucket list to go back. Be sure to detour to see the Windsor Mansion ruins near Gulf Camp. It's about 1/2 way between Natchez and Vicksburg. 73 de KB7KZ

[@kymberlybelk9615]

If you go see the ruins, take some time in Port Gibson.

[@sallykasper61]

I love your video because we had been there too......Thank you for sharing.

[@AshleyMurphyArt]

Beautiful, my home state!!!

[@batsnapper]

Thanks for highlighting Natchez and the Trace. FYI, Natchez is pronounced like Matches (by locals), and refers to the indigenous Natchez Indians.

[@lindahollister5530]

Thank you for this video, Going to finish this now. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pattyk8594]

Great video guys! I love looking at old mansions. Your Class B keeps making me think I want one! Right now we have a travel trailer. I just can't get over having to break camp every time to go into town with a Class B, but you make it look easy :o)

[@VOXPOPSTEVE]

Thank you for making this video! It is helpful!

[@10aemery]

That guy on the barge looked like he was dancing for you! 😆

[@mikeprichard7933]

The worlds best fried chicken. Now that is a bold statement. If you are ever in SoCal there is a restaurant in Anaheim called Mrs. Knotts. It's outside the gates of Knotts Berry farm and it has fried chicken like my grandmother used to make. Come to Cali. and try theirs and see how they match up. I'm 66 years old and it has been a long time since I've had fried chicken that good. Happy motoring and stay safe

[@michaelbecnel63]

Just did the Trace in the opposite direction. I'll definitely be following along...happy trails

[@danmcwhertor5922]

Been to Mr D’s. Good to see it again. Good food!

[@Tootleooooooo]

I Love you two! Great channel. I just subscribed. Thankyou it was very fun.

[@doingitwithnothing]

Welcome to my state...

[@gumshoe5365]

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@rebeccahulon888]

Great video 🤗

[@michaelstallings5824]

was there last week the grand village of the natchez as well as emerald mound is very interesting

[@nicolasgargano1501]

Great Video!

[@EdRichards]

Mike, Jen and Bo, love the video, especially The Old Country Store and Mr D. Is he not quite the character? Did you have the opportunity to just snoop around the store while there. There are so many fascinating things to see there. Vidalia, La, is famous for being the home town of three rather famous cousins. Do you know who they are?

[@RVLifestyle]

I do! Jerry Lee Lewis, Mickey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart.

[@EdRichards]

@@RVLifestyle Indeed you do sir! :)

[@danielcallahan5404]

It’s worth saying that the plantation system and indentured servitude was a relic of feudalism and not an American creation though we are credited for ending it. The Agrarian society has always been somewhat based on a “share Cropping” structure. Not to belittle the injustice of “slavery” or Indentured servitude as all races have suffered under it and other forms of oppression. However the Plantations and their history should never be vilified as it was part of a historical foundation for all Americans and the successes all races have enjoyed the opportunity to create for themselves in the USA.

[@Van_Liberty]

Man, I want some of that Chicken!!

[@joyceb5864]

Jennifer, in the south it is sacrilegious to eat fried chicken with a knife & fork!! Use your fingers!!!!!

[@RVLifestyle]

LOL... I tried to tell her that... but in these days of COVID she felt that was best in this case. I took my chances.

[@YoungGun821]

Great videos but get some GoPro's. Will improve image quality a bunch.

[@nitay8248]

I want some fried chicken!😋🍽🙂❤️

[@mackenziekennedy251]

That where I live

[@pnkbiankii]

Natchez mansions’ faded opulence gave me the creeps, like a thin veneer to unspoken horror. Maybe someday that will fade, too. Hope so.

[@bevbender3587]

What’s the largest RV you’ve seen on the Trail?

[@RVLifestyle]

We have seen Class A motorhomes.

[@bevbender3587]

@@RVLifestyle love your videos and your motor home.

[@onetwocue]

The lady, Ginger forgot to mention the slavery trade. That's something very important to mention. That brought in a lot of money. Yes it's something that's tainted the US and there's no escaping that history.

[@rustyreeves9669]

you should have asked a local how pronounce NAT ches, Z is not dominate but T is.

[@heathjamessr.771]

It's really stunning to me how the history of the slaves is just glossed over
