Cruising down the Mississippi River on a steamboat in New Orleans
Riding down the Mississippi River in the Natchez Steamboat unleashes your inner Mark Twain. Listen for the Captain when he points out the location of the Battle of New Orleans, which was fought after the War of 1812 had ended but word didn’t get here in time. And listen for the calliope which plays timely tunes like holiday songs.
