The walking tour gives you the flexibility to see the sites you want to see, when you want to see them. You can spend as much or as little time at each site as you wish. Sites include: Cane River Lake, Front Street, the oldest general store in Louisiana, a reconstructed fort from the early 1700s, a sports hall of fame, sites of deadly shootouts, the site believed to hold the tomb of the founder of Natchitoches, historic eateries, parks, historic churches, the oldest cemetery in the Louisiana Purchase, and many historic homes dating from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. One of the most impressive things about the Historic District is that you can sleep in many of the historic homes, an opportunity most of us rarely get. There is no better way to get a sense of the history of Natchitoches than by staying in one of the historic homes from the walking tour. In addition, this guidebook details which restaurants in the Historic District host live local musicians on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
