Natchez Trace Parkway Celebrates 75 Years - Dave Ingram May 17, 2013
Tomorrow marks the paradoxical 75th anniversary of one of Natchez's oldest connections with civilization. The National Park Service will mark this weekend the day in 1938 when the NPS assumed control of the historic Old Natchez Road — today known as the Natchez Trace Parkway — and began turning the 444-mile stretch into the seventh-most visited U.S. National Park and one of only four scenic byways in the park system. Trace Interim Superintendent Dale Wilkerson said the parkway plays host to 5.6 million leisure visitors annually. Travel on the Trace began long before 1938, or even the Mississippi colonial period. Jim Barnett, director of the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians, said Indian archeological sites along the length of the Trace date back 5,000 years. The first paved portion of the Trace, between Jackson and Kosciusko, didn't open until 1951 because World War II disrupted the work, the paving continued until 2005, when the final portions — from Jackson to Clinton, and between the Trace's then southern terminus and Liberty Road at Natchez — were finished. The Natchez Trace Parkway's 75th Anniversary celebration will be held at the Parkway Visitor Center, located just north of Tupelo on the Natchez Trace Parkway at milepost 266. 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
