The Natchez City Cemetery, established in 1822, is another notable site, drawing visitors with stories like that of Florence Irene Ford, who died of yellow fever, and the musician Bud Scott. The Natchez Little Theatre, active since 1932, will present “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical” from June 27-30, continuing its tradition of providing entertainment to the community.
