The village Natchez was the last home of the Natchez Indians after they were defeated by the French in Mississippi. Natchez is located in Natchitoches Parish just south of Natchitoches town between Natchitoches and Alexandria along Highway 1 near the Red River and Lake Nantaches. The area is known for the plantations built there when Cotton production took hold.

There are many in the area – 'The Oakland' has been called 'The most beautiful plantation home in the Natchez area' by Sam Wilson who is a noted New Orleans architect. There is a lot of history attached to Oakland as well as the slave who was born and raised at Oakland in 1880 who bought the plantation and prospered as a practicing doctor and surgeon, selling the best moonshine whiskey during Prohibition as well.
