Best known as a key Civil War battle site, this western Mississippi city is full of history, culture, and fun, which you can easily access from our boutique downtown hotel. History buffs will want to spend considerable time at Vicksburg National Military Park, featuring guided tours, over 1,400 monuments and memorials honoring the veterans of the 1862-1863 siege, the U.S.S. Cairo Gunboat and Museum, and the Vicksburg National Cemetery. Learn about the inequalities of slaves and the battle for their freedom at the Vicksburg Civil War Museum, see railroad memorabilia at the Old Depot Museum, and immerse yourself in Vicksburg’s rich music, culinary, and visual arts heritage at the Catfish Row Museum. Admire the 32 Vicksburg Riverfront Murals, depicting periods of Vicksburg history, go on a spooky tour of the haunted McRaven house, or visit the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum, where the soda was first bottled in 1894. Whether you want to bet on the big sports game or ante up at the poker table, four casinos perched on the Mississippi River await. You can also browse the unique boutiques along Washington Street, tee off at Clear Creek Golf Club, or head just outside the city to enjoy miles of hiking, ATV, and horseback riding trails at Delta National Forest.
