Historical Marker |
Site of the South's second largest slave market in the 19th century. Enslaved people were also once sold on city streets and at the landing at Natchez Under The Hill. Natchez slaves were freed in July, 1863, when Union troops occupied the city. The Forks of the Road Market then became a refuge for hundreds of emancipated people.
