• Frank Lloyd Wright - Rosenbaum House Museum - Frank Lloyd Wright is widely acknowledged as one of the nation’s most esteemed architects.

Note: This 134-mile tour highlights the key attractions of the Natchez Trace Parkway in 4-5 hours.

Purchase once, enjoy for a year! Perfect for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

• Florence - While many associate ancient civilizations with the Egyptian pyramids and Mexico’s Mayan temples, there were flourishing cultures from that era right here as well.

• Muscle Shoals - Residents of Muscle Shoals often say that music flows through the water there. The area is the birthplace of W. C. Handy, known as “The Father of the Blues.” His home is a local attraction. Sun Studio and Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, also known as “The Father of Rock and Roll,” was born in Florence, just across the river.

• Rock Springs Nature Trail - Ahead lies a beautiful spring worth visiting. It’s located along the Rock Spring Nature Trail. A short half-mile loop walking trail leads to a bubbling spring.

• Wilson’s Headquarters & Camp Historical Marker - To view their campsite, which consists of a small sign at the historical marker, turn left off the parkway at county road 14 after the small bridge. Otherwise, continue driving.

• Wichahpi Commemorative Stone Wall - The late Tom Hendrix dedicated over 30 years to constructing what is now the largest unmortared wall in the country. The mile-long wall honors Hendrix’s great-great-grandmother, Te-lah-nay, and her journey on the Trail of Tears.

• Florence Indian Mound and Museum - The Florence Mound and hundreds of others across the Southeast were part of cultural centers where people lived, traded across vast networks, and buried their dead. The Florence Mound measures 145 feet by 95 feet at its top.

• Laurel Hill Lake - This might be the first mention of fishing on the Trace. Is that of interest? Did you bring rods and reels? If so, take a side trip three miles east to Laurel Hill Lake. This state-managed lake is one of several in Tennessee specifically designed for anglers.

• Meriwether Lewis Campground- Natchez Trace - The Meriwether Lewis Campground is one of only three campgrounds on the Parkway itself—the others being Rocky Springs and Jeff Busby—and the only one in Tennessee. Fortunately, there are no fees to camp here.

• Swan View Overlook - The first parking area on the right is for Fall Hollow - a small waterfall. Just a few steps from the car reveal the view. Jackson Falls, coming up later, is more impressive, but Fall Hollow is still worth a quick stop.

• Devils Backbone Road - Technically, Devil’s Backbone State Natural Area is a park adjacent to the Trace, not directly on it. However, it’s a great spot for a scenic, moderate hike through the woods with minimal crowds. The diversity of plant life is particularly fascinating.

• Jackson Falls - Here’s some information about Jackson Falls to help decide if it’s worth a stop. Before reaching it, pass She Boss Place, with an option to visit a tobacco farm and take an Old Trace Walk. Following that are stunning views from Bakers Bluff.

• Water Valley Overlook - From here, enjoy a roughly 180-degree view across Water Valley. It’s a picturesque example of pastoral Tennessee, with rolling hills, farms, and ponds. The view is usually well-maintained, rarely obscured by brush. It’s also a popular spot for stargazing or observing astronomical events like meteor showers.

• Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage - President Andrew Jackson has been mentioned a few times. He remains one of the country’s most polarizing historical figures, especially in the South.

• Garrison Creek Trailhead - In the early 19th century, this forested area gave way to an army post, hence the name, where the U.S. military stationed troops to guard against Native Americans defending their ancestral land.

• Leipers Fork - If Nashville isn’t familiar, it’s often thought of as home to many country music artists. However, some major celebrities choose to reside in the charming, small town of Leiper’s Fork.

• The Music of Nashville - Nashville is famously known as Music City, and for good reason. With over 180 music venues, Nashville offers the chance to enjoy live music every night, including at the iconic Bluebird Cafe.

• The Loveless Cafe - If all this sightseeing has worked up an appetite, a Nashville culinary icon awaits. Just east of where the Trace ends and meets highway 100 is the legendary Loveless Cafe. It’s been a staple for Trace travelers for over 70 years, ever since Anne and Lon Loveless opened their restaurant in 1951.
