Reviews of Grand Village of the Natchez (Museum)

Sal Durkin

Great place to learn about the original inhabitants of Natchez, MS. They were known as The Noche' Indians

Son-Sie Espinoza

Beautiful grassy land

Debbi Brown

Good dancing

Dan Haug

A very nice little site. A short film in the museum is good, and you can walk around the mounds.

Abhishek Tripathi

Facility is not well maintained, we went there with high expectations but were disappointed, even the projector was not working

Hugo Hackenbush

Free. Plan on 1 hour. Plenty of parking, lots of explanatory signs outside on the grounds, welcome center has quite a few displays.

Jessica McPherson

You learn alot about the original people of Natchez, MS.

Elizabeth Bixler

Enjoyed our visit here. Nice selection of baskets for purchasing. We were able to walk our dogs as we explored the small site. Definitely make an effort to visit Poverty Point. Another terrific Mound site that was named a World Heritage Site in 2014. Historically on par with Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, also a WH site along with Yellowstone and Glacial National Parks.

Need funds

Mark Krida

Unfortunately, it's in Mississippi.

Carol Peters

We went for a ride and ended up here, what a pleasant day.

Hidden beyond the suburbs of Natchez this "ancient" site of Native Americans features three mounds and a visiting/information center. The movie featured feels a bit outdated but is still very informative. The visitor center is the first one I came across that has actual scientific publications of the archeological investigations on two of the three mounds and the surrounding area. I was really disappointed that the history of these Native Americans is overshadowed by the town of Natchez too satisfied with their antebellum houses and slave history. Be sure to also visit the historic mound 10 miles down the Natchez Trace Parkway.

Walking trail is amazing!! Love this place!!

Lynanne Lee Ciurus

Historically significant Indian mounds you can easily hike up to

Nick Farmer

It had been raining when we showed up so there wasn't really anything to see. There's no sidewalk or anything to lead you to where the sights are. Suggested that you go when it's good weather.

Stephen Kelly

Very interesting

Neat piece of history but not much to look at.

Jolene Badonkeydonk

Friendly and very informative!

D. Taylor

Nice museum and very helpful lady at the counter. Informative move. Nice gift shop. Free admission.

Deborah Brownstein

Small museum with borderline professional 8 minute interesting video regarding background of now extinct local tribe. Exhibition has many artifacts for the interested. Good for children.

Sterling Arthur

Stylish and informative exhibits designed with respect for the Natchez culture. Relaxed, free and easy to knock out in an afternoon. Don't forget to see nearby Emerald Mound, second largest of its type in the US.

Bernard Mathyer

(Translated by Google) To visit. Only place devoted to Natchez Indians. (Original) À visiter. Seul endroit consacré aux indiens Natchez.

Ben Tucker

Being a member of VFW Post 9573 I helped work the gate for the Pow Wow. This is a great event. Thanks to all who work so hard to make this an annual occasion. A wonderful cultural experience.

Jordan Kimmel

Guys, thanks so much for the wonderful service! My son still has the brochure and reads (he can't really read yet, so he just kind of makes up stories) from it everyday. Beautiful site and one of the rare ones you can still interact with.

Kabi Boothe

Came for the "Music at the Mounds" event on 10/28. The grounds are beautiful for an outdoorconcert and the weather was perfect.

Tim Holcomb

Very nice place to visit, gained some good information about the Natchez Indians.

Crystal Tomino

The people who run this place are crazy friendly, supper knowledgeable, and helpful. The grounds and trail are nice. Very informative.

Mac West

As a child I used to enjoy many days here learning about the history of this area. I remember playing on the mounds and touring the huts. I also remember the festivals here with many vendors and celebrations.

Andy DeVries

No $ charge, simple and nicely laid out

Lewis Pyburn Jr

Went for a pow wow that they hold every year. Was a lot of fun.

Kenneth Jones

Very nice

Fabio Benassi

Nice indoor display with Indian artifacts and the tragic history of the Natchez native americans. Outdoors it's unimpressive if one has been to Emerald Mound.

Mary Kate

If you actually want to walk around all of the mounds, a little warning: you'd be doing a lot of walking. I didn't do that. I just stayed behind near the tent. It was really breezy, and kinda nice.

Frank Hatch

Good place to start in Nachez!

Antoine Dumondel

Musée intéressant, mais il ne reste plus rien du Grand Village si ce n'est des panneaux explicatifs disséminés à travers un espace vert. Place à notre imagination pour visualiser...

Eric Ferguson

An amazing place right next to a subdivision.

LOIS DOCKERY

Lovely and gracious staff

Bruce Tilton

Had a wonderful time

Bobbie Marino

Beautiful place! Has Powwows and events throughout the year!

Meagen Ware

Very well mantained

Tiffany Palmer

Lots of history. Informative video with a small touch table for the children. The walk to see the mounds is short and easy. unfortunately the Indian dwelling was down for renovation and the nature trail attached had no information on it, so we decided not to try in out. Free and informative.

Maryann Black

Very nice.

Roy Campbell-Moore

Good visitor centre. Main site is lacking in things to look at.

Melissa Miller

Nice place to visit

Robert Cross

Very informative, well done.

Gail Iles

Nice park to walk around with two earth mounds. Lots of information boards around the park with historical and archaeological facts. Museum contains more information and a small gift shop.

MICHAELLINDA Downs

A sacred place indeed and worth a visit mid-morning or mid- afternoon. Mississippi has a great museum here with artifacts of interest.

Nina Gandy

The video was very informative. Display collections are very well maintained. I learned a lot of the Natchez culture & people before their demise. Facility clean. Attendant was extremely knowledgeable & helpful.

Klattu

Little spooky when you learn about it.

DAVID GROSS

This was a lot of fun!!!

Jim Van Handel

Really enjoy the authenticity of this place!

Daniel Hopper

A great experience in learning about the history of Southeastern Indians. Well organized, neat and well run.

Nicola e Pina

(Translated by Google) My ignorance is frightening: I thought of going to an archaeological site and found myself on a golf course (!!!) (Original) La mia ignoranza è spaventosa: pensavo di andare in un sito archeologico e mi sono ritrovato in un campo da golf (!!!)

Marinda Dinges

Great powwow! Kids loved it as much as adults. Dancers were phenomenal!

William Watkins

Great free museum too

Murrell Keen Jr.

A great place to learn about the Natchez Trive of Native Americans. There is an interesting museum. The grounds are well marked for a self guided tour.

Ron Burt

Beautiful and interesting with a nice nature trail

Wendy Burk

Very Interesting history of ancient Indians in the Mississippi Valley. Has mounds and stuff but not much else.

Lisa Cantrell

The visitor center portion of this park was far more interesting to me than the mounds but I'll readily admit that we visit these sites because my husband likes to. The information in the VC is excellent and the woman staffing it when we were there was wonderfully friendly and helpful. But, if you enjoy archeology and can imagine the site itself will probably be more thrilling. To be sure walking around what are sacred places to the Natchez is moving and thinking what it would be like if they had not been driven out is through provoking but the replica house for the Natchez had not been rebuilt when we were there so you simply walk from mound and to mound and read the signage.

Bonnie Hardin

Great place to visit nice atmosphere and beautiful Museum and land

Jonas Bull

This is a historic and sacred site. It is not the largest but it is / was very important.

Antomorris Johnson

I felt like I had stepped back in time... Great experience...

Lynne Pierce

History is awesome!

Adam McLain

Enjoyed the experience. Ms. AVIS was awesome. She knows everything it seemed like and she loves what she does. Everyone should come visit Ms Avis.

『 Vanilla Mike 』

A Greta little museum with info on the Natchez people a touch exhibit and a short film along with a nature trail and displays at the mounds make this a great stop for anyone interested in local history

Mary Vasquez

Very nice employee very informative and helpful nice place to bring the family

Epling Epling

This is a great place to bring families. The museum is small but informative and had a couple hands on displays, a gift shop, and restrooms. The grounds are well kept with signs explaining the history of the area and the mounds. There is a warning sign about venomous snakes. Very peaceful here.

Ruud Smets

Interesting 'village'. You get a nice, and quick view of the native Indians who once lived there. You can see a short film, and take a small walk on the domain. And it's free! Certain worth the stop.

Robyn Latham

Beautiful history and culture. Peaceful.
