Visitors to this stop on the Natchez Trace Parkway find a monument to Meriwether Lewis, who died near here in October 1809 while traveling to Washington, D.C. Lewis had led the Corps of Discovery with William Clark and later served as governor of the Louisiana Territory. He died at Grinder's Stand, a rough inn along the old road, and the circumstances of his death, whether suicide or murder, remain disputed. The monument and the interpretive sign mark the grave and tell that story to travelers on the parkway today.
