Absolutely beautiful...and amazing, it is a small town but on the banks of the Mississippi the view is spectacular and the hotel we stayed in is beautiful

This is a very cool stop. Make it a point to pull off the interstate as you cross the Mississippi River between Louisiana and Mississippi. There is a historical marker for the Vicksburg Siege on May 16, 1863 when Ulysses Grant's army surrounded John Pemberton's. The Confederacy surrendered on July 4 of the same year.

The whole stop takes about 15 minutes. It's a single building with restrooms and an incredible view of the dual bridges over the Mississippi river. Cannons are set up below the building overlooking the river. It's just cool. You probably need a restroom break from the highway, so why not stop and take in the view.

The visitors center was very clean, had knowledgeable workers, and free coffee. You could see the bridges perfectly. The workers gave us maps of Historic Vicksburg

The visitors center was very clean, had knowledgeable workers, and free coffee. You could see the bridges perfectly. The workers gave us maps of Historic Vicksburg and told us about Catfish Row Art and other things to do right there by the river.

A nice view of the bridge can be seen from the Mississippi Welcome Center.

One of the best places to get sunset photos

Unfortunately Covid has closed all of the good viewing areas....only place to check it out is from the visitors center. But it is a great view of the river

One of the more beautiful Mississippi River crossings.

I love driving across this bridge and seeing the view. That other bridge really should get torn down though it's been dilapidated since before I was even born. Either do something with it or scrap it out man.
