With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Natchez, 35 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Stanton Hall, Natchez National Historical Park and Rosalie Mansion. The locals will also likely point you toward Port Gibson, 55 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Grand Gulf Military Park. (But we’d also recommend St James Episcopal Church and Port Gibson Baptist Church.)
