Natchez Bluffs and Under-the-Hill Historic District

The 75-acre district extends along the Mississippi River, incorporating Silver Street and Broadway, with numerous buildings dating from different periods.

During the American Revolutionary War, the Under-the-Hill area contained about 20 buildings and represented the entirety of early Natchez settlement.

The district preserves structures that reflect French architectural influence, with wooden houses elevated above ground and storage spaces beneath.

Visitors can explore restaurants, shops, and walking paths while experiencing views of the Mississippi River from multiple vantage points.

The name Natchez-Under-the-Hill follows British naming patterns similar to Stratford-Upon-Avon, reflecting its origins during British West Florida period.
