Must See Sights and Landmarks in Vicksburg Area

"Perhaps one of the best things to see in Vicksburg, the Vicksburg National Military Park features over 1,400 monuments and memorials honoring the soldiers and events of the Civil War. Located on the same ground where the Battle of Vicksburg took place over a century ago, a trip to the battlefield will give you an understanding of the war that you won’t get from reading about it. Here you can take the driving or walking tour through the park, depending on your interest and time frame, either with the help of the Official Park Brochure and Map or a tour guide."

"Many historians rank the Siege of Vicksburg as one of the top five most important battles of the Civil War. So this park a must-see.
