About Vicksburg Mississippi


Vicksburg is a progressive city where you will discover a community committed to excellence. It is a unique blend of old and new in a city that offers plenty to see and do. From the specialty shops of historic downtown to the outlet mall, shoppers experience a relaxed atmosphere and friendly people. The Vicksburg National Military Park captures a piece of American history in a sixteen mile tour featuring over 1,340 monuments, a restored Union gunboat, and National Cemetery. We have many Riverboat gaming locations that provide games of chance, not to mention a spectacular view of "Ole Man River."
