Natchez architecture is known for the large group of Antebellum houses, but there are many other historic buildings as well. the church above and bank below are examples of non-residential historic buildings that dot the downtown area.

Natchez sits on 200 foot high bluffs above the Mississippi. One morning Abner and I were out for a walk and saw several big barges and tugs heading upriver. The bridge in the photo above is the one we took to Louisiana. When Natchez was a business center in the early 19th century and there were no bridge, plantation owners whose properties were frequently on the flat Louisiana side of the river had to be ferried across to their land.
