Natchitoches Historic District
Natchitoches Historic District, Historic district in Natchitoches, US.
The district spans 33 blocks in downtown Natchitoches, featuring over 200 historic structures along both sides of the Cane River Lake.
Founded by French explorers in 1714, Natchitoches developed as a trading center between French, Spanish, and Native American communities in Louisiana.
The architecture combines French colonial techniques, including bousillage construction methods, with Victorian, Colonial, and Queen Anne design elements.
Visitors can participate in guided walking tours starting at 780 Front Street, with tours operating Wednesday through Saturday at 10:00 AM.
The Red River's course shift in the 1800s isolated the district along an old channel, preserving numerous 18th-century buildings from modernization.
