Located on the foundations of an old 1790’s settlement, Bayou Sara, St. Francisville is known as the oldest town in the Florida Parishes. When the original settlement was destroyed by fires and floods, many of its artefacts were hauled up the bluff which is where they can still be seen today. Known locally as “two miles long and two yards wide”, this town is filled with boutique shops, beautiful parklands and historic homes, and Spanish moss trees grow throughout the town, lending its beautiful southern comfort to the atmosphere.

Blending Southern culture and heritage with the excitement of modern-day attractions, Vicksburg offers the perfect balance of both. Carrying a history like no other Civil War city, Vicksburg was founded in 1811 and was a vital river port described by Abraham Lincoln as the “Key to the South”. This is the perfect destination to discover more about the battles of the city, visit the many local museums and savour on the great Southern cuisine.
