Tupelo, Mississippi sits on land that was once home to a Chickasaw fort and village, a key site for the Chickasaw people up through the 1700s. Today, visitors to the Chickasaw Village Site can explore the area through interpretive signs and artist renderings that bring the village’s past to life. There are a few great hiking options here, including a short half-mile interpretive loop that highlights native plants and their traditional uses, as well as the longer Blackland Prairie Trail, a 6-mile stretch of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail that connects the site to the Old Town Overlook and the Parkway Visitor Center.

Be aware that parts of the route share the road with vehicles for some creek crossings. It’s a peaceful spot to reflect on history while getting in a good walk.
