Experience the early colonial roots of Natchez as you explore the historic land once occupied by Fort Rosalie, built by the French in 1716 atop the scenic Mississippi River bluffs. Named in honor of the Countess of Pontchartrain, the fort played a key role in shaping the region’s early European settlement and strategic importance along the river.
Discover how this historic legacy continued into the 19th century when Peter Little, arriving from Pennsylvania at just seventeen, purchased part of the former fort land in 1820 to build his home. Choosing to preserve the name Rosalie, he honored the site’s French origins while expanding his influence through large land acquisitions in Louisiana, further shaping the area’s development.
