Walking up and down Front Street gives you plenty of choices for things to look for and definitely during Christmas you can probably finish up your shopping. Hello Dolly was my favorite!

I have many Great Interior Pictures of this Actual General Store that Dates Back to 1863. Located on Scenic Cobble Stone Street with Red River Just across the Road. So many great pictures that is operational and filled with Old and New Merchandise. Old Cash Register over 147 years old. Listed with a National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of Interior. A Place all of America "Must See'"

We love to stop by this Mercantile store everytime we visit Natchitoches, LA and peruse all the unique items they carry. It is a very large store that carries alittle of everything that you could need. I love the children's toys.....they have the old toys that you remember from your childhood days. I bought several Christmas gifts here.

Great views of the Red River. Fabulous museum for such an off the beaten track location - almost too much information to be processed in one visit. Appropriate for children as well as adults. Free.

This cemetery is set in a gorgeous, rustic setting, with rolling hills. It's a nice walk and there are helpful informational signs. It's conveniently located right in the middle of town, too.

Beautiful Church in a peaceful setting. Still an active parish, for 100's of years, with an interesting Mausoleum and cemetery, to stroll through

This is a great place to stop if you are visiting Natchitoches in the summer with kids. It is one room, free, and air conditioned. It is a great way to entertain the kids while learning about local fish and the role of the hatchery.
