Architectural Landmarks of the Mississippi River

A Mississippi River cruise offers access to some of America’s most cherished historic architecture, from Garden District mansions and Jackson Square in New Orleans to the soaring Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Along the way, river towns such as Natchez, Mississippi, have landmarked historic homes that can be toured, while Memphis, Tennessee, is home to a mecca for fans of Elvis Presley: Graceland.
