Natchez, Mississippi
Located on the Mississippi River, the graceful town of Natchez has everything you might expect from a classic Southern town. History lives here through the 18th-century homes, traditional down-home cuisine, and breathtaking scenery.
The phrase southern hospitality plays a huge role in the ambiance of this small Mississippi River town through its heritage, the buildings lining the city streets, and the welcoming people.
Natchez is packed with breathtaking views of the Mighty Mississippi, exceptionally kept historic homes and churches, historic walking trails, beautiful parks, hand-crafted southern home cooking, informative tours of the city, and much more for you to explore. Here you can linger along the riverbank, hitch a ride on a horse-drawn carriage, even visit the town’s museums and art galleries.

This looks like a cool town. Maybe I’d visit it someday.
More pictures of the towns would have made this article even better, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
I’m interested in renting an efficiency or studio apartment.
Ya’ll don’t have a clue what a small Town is. You need to come to Texas,I won’t tell you, just come see for yourself.
Na, Texas is Mexico now.
Mexico is beautiful!
It has always belonged to Mexico, so……
Wait a minute: I live in San MIguel de Allende, MX. A great place to live. Better than many cities and towns in the US. Lots of Americans and Europeans live here. Affordable, pretty, and peaceful. Well, and “Americanized” in a positive way.
Is there affordable housing in any small town in Texas?
No. That is why they have such poor schools in rural areas. No housing, nothing to do, a really stuck in the middle mentality.
What about small TEXAS TOWNS
All. Uniquely beautiful I’m leaving you wanting to go there to visit each and everyone of them
That sounds like what I have been looking for to relax in the rest of my life
Having flown to many locales around the world with the USAF (all seven continents), many ravaged by war and pestilence these pictures just remind me how fortunate I and my family are to live here. Just as in the previous centuries, no wonder people are risking everything to come here.
Well said. There is so much beauty here in the United States to enjoy. Lots of wonderful small towns everywhere. I live in Holland, MI (near Lake Michigan) and love it!! We are truly blessed as American citizens for our freedoms and wide open space to live in.
You might want to venture to other states such as Ohio, NY, Pennsylvania, Michigan. Check out Hudson Ohio, Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Kent, Ohio, Bedford Ohio, Keego Harbor Michigan, Berkley, Michigan and sooo many others!
yes i live in Pa and there are many cool small towns, eg Jim Thorpe
Have lived all over USA w/US Public Health Service, traveled all over during our military month-vacation (in a tent)& have zeroed in on small-town mid-Atlantic in which to retire (now Leftest Coast, but desperately want to get out to either Southern PA, Panhandle WVA or a few extreme NE Tenn location, or….upper NC). Would love certain parts of VA or MD since both my husband & I were born or lived there for times….but taxes/regulations/gov’t “X” them out for us. We’re old, cranky about people telling us how we have to live after years of us serving others, & paying to support others out of our tax monies after we’ve worked to serve them…the vicious cycle of giving & then being punished for choosing to give. Want to live the rest of our lives in some fiscally, socially, humanly SANE state.
I agree with much of your statement–esp the LAST one!
We went to Sturgis for the Rally, well we spent more time in Deadwood! I LOVE IT!!!!
Abilene,Kansas has some better days. COVID hit the town hard and many of the shops in the main part of town are closed. Hope this pretty town can come back
YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER COOPERSTOWN, NY
Been there many times, worth a trip from anywhere.
Been there too. Fun little town on the bluff
Nice town with great Welcome Center
How could you leave out Franklin, TN?
Franklin is amazing as is many other towns throughout the South. The only Southern town they listed was Beaufort, S.C. and I agree it’s a great place but I don’t understand why many Southern locations were left out.
There are so many in the South, it has charm written all over it. Someone could do an article about a road trip through the South. NC mountains are stunning as is GA on the Appalachian Trail, Alabama is a one-of-a-kind place, Louisianna is great, etc.
Hard to believe Avalon on Catalina Island in California was not included. Maybe because you can’t drive there?
Is that Lake Placid, New York ?
St. Francisville, Louisiana is not on here
Cooperstown, NY
Looking for a town which is locked into the Ragtime Era: 1900-1920
This is nothing but an advertisement bought and paid for by the city’s chamber of commerce.
Left out Bigfork Montana
Love Abilene! It is my hometown.
Oxnard-more than a pretty name!
YOU DID NOT INCLUDE WIMBERLEY IN THE TEXAS HILLCOUNTRY
My grandmother was born here in 1894.
Yall need to visit Lincoln, New Mexico it is so cool, Billy the kid could show up at any time,it is that nostalgic.
We have several great small towns in Texas you know. Youse guys from the Northeast need to get out to the Southwest sometime.
“Abilene, Abilene prettiest town that I’ve ever seen.Women there don’t treat you mean.Wish to the lord that I could be
in Abilene, my Abilene”
Small towns are the heart and soul of this country. I live in a small town and love every minute of it. I would never want to live in the big city as there is too many people and the hustle is too much for me.
Went there on guided bus tour. Bring your pocket book!! Rent is very high or impossible. Beautiful scenery. Big mountain right there when you look up. Would go again but on a bus trip only.
It looks pleasing and relaxing. Would like to see it.
How about Holland, Michigan!
What about including Cape May NJ?
Hey Tom. Thanks for the tip. We’ll be sure to include it next time!
Wow
