We took an audio tour of the cemetery which uses a CD inserted into your cars CD player. The CD guides the visitor throughout the cemetery to numbered locations, giving a brief history of the person buried. It is well narrated and a good way to learn more about the city of Natchez. The cemetery is peaceful and full of history.
