In the evening, take a stroll on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River to enjoy the majestic sunset view. Don’t forget to add the Natchez Brewing Company, located at 207 High Street, to your list of stops in historic downtown Natchez. Grab a bite to eat and enjoy a brewery flight that shares a story of the south.
