This place is a must visit for anyone who wants to learn about history. The driving/phone tour is easy and very informative. They also have a really cool junior rangers program for kids.

if our political candidates would walk these sacred grounds maybe then we can move forward as one country under God and indivisible ... with liberty and justice for all ..

More ideal in good weather, but still plenty to see even when it's raining. I will have to return again when the weather is better. Also don't forget your national parks pass!

Lots of history . Well laid out road tour that reflects the seige lines and trenches. Tons of monuments similar to Gettysburg. Stop at the visitor center for a map. Access tour audio via cell.

Yes Sir. Well worth the stop. Driving tour is incredible. Better is you have more time. A jog would be very nice.

Truly amazing, inspiring, and heat-wrenching all at the same time. If you are near by, please stop. Very much worth the time and money to see a part of our Nation's history.

Give it 60-90 minutes for the driving tour around the park . Make sure you go back to the Grant HQ. Get out as much as you can to walk around and see just how close the two lines were. Amazing.

Day 6: Billed the "Red Carpet City of the South," Vicksburg was the site of a dramatic siege and major turning point in the Civil War. The Old Court House Museum is one of the days' stops.

A lot to see unless you walk the 16 mile driving tour . Best taken in if you acknowledge that you can't read every plaque .

Loved that you can still see earthworks and how detailed it is with location markers. The big stat monuments are spectacular.

It's $8 per vehicle but there is a lot of history to experience. Be ready to stop your car a lot!

Amazing amount of monuments . Many of them works of art .

Check in at the Visitor Center to see the film and fiber-optic map that takes you through the campaign to take/defend Vicksburg.

See the Cairo!! Amazing museum . It is worth the drive through the park .

Thanks to Park Ranger Will Wilson for looking up my great great great grandfather for me.

Only unhappy, because it was shut down due to water main break in Vicksburg and Mississippi River flooding

Touring the battlefield on bike

Make sure your gas tank is full before you enter... it's a long ride!

Great place to ride a bike or have a picnic .

There are several ways to tour : cell phone tour , CD tour , or hiring a certified guide.

Check out the ghost tour !

It is a total bummer that the park is closed!!
