Leiper's Fork is a great pit stop.
I still think the very best Natchez Trace souvenirs are found at the Loveless Cafe gift shop on Hwy. 100. They even sell the Art Deco style prints and postcards of the Natchez Trace Bridge over Hwy. 96.

Not to mention delicious food-to-go if you're heading down the Trace.
