Since opening in 2005, Old South Trading Post has become known for its tasty array of goods, unique merchandise, and southern hospitality.

From the exterior signage, it may appear to be your typical souvenir shop.

However, once you set foot inside, you’ll quickly realize it’s anything but typical.

Look around, and you’ll find an extensive variety of locally produced goods. In fact, Old South Trading Post carries one of the largest selections of Mississippi and Louisiana items in the region.

Jellies, Natchez pickles, condiments, and sauces are among the mouthwatering merchandise. There’s also a variety of mixes, including biscuit mix and dip mixes, which are some of the shop’s top sellers.

The tasty offerings don’t end there, though. There’s also a display case stocked with baked goods.

Pralines, fudge, and Southern divinity are just a few of the tasty treats sold at Old Shop Trading Post.

Remember, there are Louisiana products, like Café du Monde coffee and beignet mixes, too. And that’s in addition to an array of non-edible merchandise, such as cookbooks, cards, gifts, décor, and more.

With a deliciously unique selection of merchandise, it’s easy to see why Old South Trading Post has been visited by people from all over the world.
