The Intermodal Center serves as the focal point and "first stop" for all visitors entering Natchez. It is key to getting visitors out of their cars and onto city trolleys, buses, and their feet-to tour the district. The center has a two-level administrative wing and a visitor reception and viewing wing that faces the Mississippi River.
