Windsor Ruins: This was/is a home on the Trace that was burned shortly after the Civil War. This above drawing was done by a Union soldier as they camped around the house during the War. It is the only known picture of the home. 
Twelve Confederate soldiers who had died along the Trace. The Trace is seen on the left side of between the trees. The soldiers are on the right of the Trace. It is unknown how or why the soldiers died, perhaps exhaustion or disease
Various shots along the Trace
The original foot path of the Natchez Trace. Thousands of folks used this ancient Indian path to travel from Nashville down to Natchez, Mississippi. Even Abraham Lincoln is said to have walked it. The thousands of foot travelers, relocating settlers with their oxens and wagons caused deep depressions and erosions in the land that are still present today. There are many original parts of the Trace still present along the road Trace.
This is part of the Trace that leads to the Mount Locust Inn which is original and still standing. Family members lived in the building well in to the 1930's.
The family cemetery at Mount Locust which was an Inn and a working Plantation.
