The Mississippi River has played an important role in the history of Vicksburg
and continues to be an important draw for locals and visitors alike. During
the Civil War, Union troops fought a protracted siege to wrest control of this
strategic point from the Confederacy. The Union victory at Vicksburg became
one of the turning points of the war and today visitors can explore the history
of the battle at the Vicksburg National Military Park, which hosts over 1,300
monuments as well as the remains of an actual Civil War-era gunboat, the U.S.S.
Cairo. Those looking to experience the Mississippi River for themselves can
take a tour on a river boat and view the public riverfront murals along the
Yazoo Diversion Canal. After exploring the area attractions, Vicksburg is just
minutes away from the great Mississippi outdoors, including camping, golfing
and recreational activities.
