Vicksburg - still in July

We visited Vicksburg, the site of one of the great Civil War battles. We viewed the battlefield and monuments while reading about the historical battles. We saw a partially restored Civil War battleship. We also visited their museum of Civil War artifacts.

We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast that was built in 1849, and we saw several plantation homes as well as many other historical buildings that date back to Civil War times.
