French Camp Historical Area

Located off the Natchez Trace Parkway at French Camp Academy, the area is comprised of the circa 1840 Huffman Log Cabin and the 1846 Col. James Drane House. The cabin, now a gift shop and visitor center for the academy, features rare dogtrot-style architecture; its two rooms are connected by a breezeway. Additional buildings are located behind the cabin, including a cafe.

The Drane house was built in the Federal style by one of the area's earliest settlers who later served in the State legislature as representative, senator and president. Restored in Civil War period-style, the house is furnished with antiques.

The area also features a new museum building, bread bakery, a bed and breakfast inn, the Rainwater Observatory and Planetarium, and the Blucher Arts Center. Open Monday through Saturday; closed major holidays.
