Natchez Under-the-Hill
The old landing district at the foot of the bluff, once notorious for riverboat men and gamblers. Today it is home to riverside bars and restaurants.
Natchez Under-the-Hill sits on the Mississippi River below the city's bluff. In the 19th century it was the steamboat landing, notorious for its gambling halls, taverns, and brawls among riverboat men. Today only one short street, Silver Street, remains, with a few historic buildings. Riverside bars such as the historic Under-the-Hill Saloon, restaurants, and a gambling boat operate here. Walking down the ramp in the evening to watch the sun set over the Louisiana plains across the river is one of the classic experiences in Natchez.
