George Colbert House Although the house was run down by the time this picture was taken, it was once a very important stop on the Natchez Trace. Until they we forced to leave Mississippi by the Indian Removal Act, the Colberts lived in a more substantial house close to present day Tupelo Mississippi The Landing was near this point |

Colbert Ferry and Stand George Colbert operated a ferry across the Tennessee River from 1800 to 1819. His stand or inn offered travelers a warm meal and shelter during their journey on the Old Trace. Colbert looked after his own well-being and once charged Andrew Jackson $75,000 to ferry his Tennessee army across the river. The site of his stand is a short 50 yards up this path. An additional 20 minute stroll will take along the Old Trace to the bluff overlook station and back. (National Park Service ) |
