I…read morelive on the Eastern USA, where we have experienced the Revolutionary War of Independence and the Civil War. We are war heavy on this side of the country. I have visited most major battlegrounds, forts, courthouses and buildings from these two eras. I don't really consider myself a history buff, yet I have visited several historical places. This park is certainly the most beautiful monument dedicated to war. It is also in a very beautiful setting. Abraham Lincoln donated these lands to preserve the history of the wars, and that was a great decision. Vicksburg is not really an easy access commute from anywhere, visiting here requires effort, and this park is well worth it.

    Stunning military park with amazing views where one can imagine the smoke from cannon fire pouring…read moreupwards, I tried to imagine the sounds of multiple cannons , the shouts of men , thousands of gunshots. Incredible place to soak in a key military battle of the Civil war. The grounds and surrounding hillsides are beautiful and well worth the drive through. Our visit culminating with seeing the gunboat ironclad Cairo. I learned so very much about the ironclads in general and the Cairo specifically. If you are any sort of history or Civil War buff this is a must see.
