About French Camp Historic Village
French Camp Historic Village sits beside the Natchez Trace Parkway at milepost 180.7 and gives visitors a look at frontier-era rural life through its log buildings. The village includes the Huffman Cabin, the French Camp Log House Museum, the Colonel James Drane House, the LeFlore Carriage House, a blacksmith shop, a welcome center, a bakery, and a restaurant called the Council House. Village buildings are part of the adjacent French Camp Academy, a Christian boarding school, and the site also hosts a rodeo, an astronomy conference, and a harvest festival each year. A stone memorial on the Trace, the story of trader Louis LeFleur, and the 1830 Dancing Rabbit Creek treaty are tied to the local history.
