That was uncalled for.
People on this board have some good advice and are willing to share ideas. If you like researching by other methods, knock yourself out. But that doesn't mean everyone else has to do it your way.

While you are there, make sure you eat at the Beechwood. Right off 20 maybe a mile east of the park entrance.

Not Civil War related, but Emerald Mound is fascinating and is North within 20 minutes of Natchez. It is less than a mile off the Trace from what I remember. It can be seen in 30 minutes or so.
Mount Locust house is a little north (15 to 20 minutes) of Emerald Mound although it appears to be closed except for the grounds. You can see it from the road. Last time I went was 2020 and it was closed for Covid.

Did both one day..
The ghost town of Rodney was weird.. the cannonball in the church is cool.
Windsor castle was kind of neat.. it shows all the columns and how massive the place would have been.
Now, fair warning, Rodney has a tent/shack/very friggin poor community there. They won't bother you but go during the day.

Definitely go see the gunboat at the Military park in Vicksburg. They raised it from the Mississippi and made a museum out of it. It is a must see.
there's still enough of the 'taste' of original recipe to scratch that itch every so often...

Not Civil War or Mississippi, but twenty minutes into Alabama along the trace is the Wichahpi Commemorative Stone Wall. An old Indian guy built it by himself over a span of decades. The guy who built it was interviewed by the NY Times before he died. He told them building it "wore out three trucks, 22 wheelbarrows, 3,700 pairs of gloves, three dogs and one old man." If it recall correctly, it is the longest unmortared stone wall in North America. It includes stones brought by visitors from all over the world.
Honestly, it isn't much to look at, but the story and the peacefulness there are worth the look.
