Day 8 - Vicksburg, MS
In the "Key to the South," Southern hospitality is alive, well,
and waiting for your arrival. With sweeping views of the
Mississippi River, Vicksburg blends its Southern heritage with
exciting modern-day attractions. Our tour today begins in
Vicksburg's shopping district. Then, we will stop at the Church of
Holy Trinity: a place of spiritual refreshment to Vicksburg for
over 125 years. The next stop, Anchuca Mansion, named from the
Choctaw word meaning "happy home," is one of the most significant
homes in Vicksburg. As we come back into the downtown area, we will
continue to the Old Court House Museum, which showcases thousands
of artifacts from pre-Columbian times to Civil War implements.
There will be a stop at Washington Street for some more shopping as
well as an included admission to Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum.
Afterward, enjoy the Lower Mississippi River Museum, where we can
find out how different communities, farming families, and the US
Army Corps of Engineers have all utilized the river. Finally, visit
the Old Depot Museum, a preservation museum run by the Vicksburg
Battlefield Museum, which highlights the Siege of Vicksburg.
