TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) -The Natchez Trace Parkway is vital transportation link for many North Mississippians. It also brings thousands of tourists to towns along the way. Wednesday, those travelers and residents had a chance to voice their opinion on the future of the Historic Trail. Trace officials held a community meeting to get input on how they can improve services and and education opportunities along the Parkway.

One takeaway was that the variety of attractions in the park draws a diverse group.

“There’s not one particular thing that’s come up. I think because people have such a variety of interests, and such a variety of ways they use the park. Everybody has their own thing of what they like to see, and that’s all very valuable for us to know.”

Input gathered from the community meeting will be used to help the Long Range Interpretive Plan for the Natchez Trace.
