Vicksburg National Military Park


We would highly suggest if you are going to any National Park 
that you download the National Park App!

They have audio tours, calendar of events, 
road closures, maps, amenities
and so much information!

Vicksburg, Mississippi 
Click on the link above since there is so much history.
Loop entrance.
Illinois Memorial

The museum was closed when we were there but
you can go to the link above and see some of the 
 artifacts that were recovered and the history. 
Interesting. 
USS Cairo Gunboat 

You can see the support system which allows 
people to walk on board and see 
some of the original wood structure. 

It was heartbreaking to see how many 
unknown soldiers are buried here. 
Our first Magnolia tree.
Here are two of the 1,400 monuments, tablets 
and markers located around the park.

We learned so much history 
and why Vicksburg was important!
