Located on Jefferson Davis Blvd., this was the ceremonial mound center and chief settlement of the Natchez Indians. After the tribe attacked a French fort in 1729, the French retaliated and destroyed the village. A museum displays excavated artifacts, renovated mounds, a reconstructed hut and other interpretive exhibits illustrate the daily life of the period.

Open Monday through Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 1:30pm-5pm.
