Central Region of Mississippi has one of the most historic
and moving Civil War Sites at Vicksburg Memorial Military
Park that commemorates one of the most decisive battles of
the American Civil War, the campaign, siege and defense of
Vicksburg. Today, the battlefield at Vicksburg is in an
excellent state of preservation. It includes 1,325 historic
monuments and markers, 20 miles of reconstructed trenches
and earthworks, a 16 mile tour road, antebellum home, 144
emplaced cannon, restored Union gunboat-USS Cairo, and the
Vicksburg National Cemetery. Come stay at a
bed
and breakfast inn and see the Old Courthouse museum,
McRaven, the Biedenharn Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia,
Yesterday's Children Antique Doll and Toy Museum, the Gray &
Blue Naval Museum, or several of the city's many other
historic homes. Vicksburg has four casinos, family parks,
and even a U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station
open for public tours. |
