Mount Locust Inn

Accessible from the Natchez Trace Parkway, Mount Locust Inn is the only inn remaining from the many that were located along the Natchez Trace, a road that connected Natchez, Mississippi with Nashville, Tennessee.  The inn was also part of a slave plantation.  Today, the site includes a slave cemetery.  This is the inn, viewed from the front.

Behind the inn are the cistern and a bell. 

The slave cemetery is surrounded by a split-rail fence, and located behind this sign, which shows the names of 10 slaves who lived and worked at Mount Locust.
