This National Historical Park is located in a rather remote area of Mississippi, along the eastern border with Illinois. The site preserves homes from the first permanent European settlement in the state. French-Canadians relocated here to establish a farming community in 1750. Residents began to move up the hill from the Mississippi River after flooding in 1785 destroyed many dwellings. That area is where the town is today. While not large, the town is still an active community with more modern homes as well.
You can tour several homes, though many are privately owned and have their own admittance criteria. However, the National Park Service does own a few and rotates when tours are offered (which a guided tour is required for access to the interior).
