To get an understanding of the seige at Vicksburg you have to visit this place. Impressive display shows location of the two armies and why the battle was resolved as it was. Much better to...

DAVE & DEWAYNE were excellent tour guides and museum keepers for the public. They have extensive knowledge with military & local history, model building, excavating for museum pieces, refurbishing toys, collecting, and displaying artifacts. There is a film you can watch and/or listen to while you walk around, two floors of displays, and a very large gift shop. There is something for everyone: ships, dioramas, trains, planes, toys and autos. They are located downtown near the river, Levee Marketplace, Lower Miss. River Museum & Catfish Art park and Washington Street. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ALL AGES!! (Sorry, I see my pics are out of order).

Very friendly staff! Knowledgeable as well!! They've got some cool little set ups to check out. It's about five bucks to see the museum. Free for military. The gift shop has some great gifts that are way cheaper than some of the same gifts at the national park. So if you're going to do some gift shopping, this is a good place to get some cool stuff.
