Historic Site and Old Trace

The old Natchez Trace passed through Metal Ford at milepost 382.8, where travelers could cross the Buffalo River except in heavy rains. The ford gets its name from its stone bottom, which reminded these early travelers of their stone-surfaced or "metalized" roads back home.

The location also offers a short, 5 to 10 minute trail that takes you to Steele's Iron Works, where primitive pig iron was produced in 1820, to be found in the old millrace.
