The
producers of the "Great Ships" on the History
Channel not only filmed much of their program at Vicksburg
Battlefield Museum, but they also called it a "Gold
Mine!"
For many years, the
"Vanishing Glory" and The Gray & Blue Naval
Museum were favorite stops for visitors to Vicksburg, the
Gibraltar of the Confederacy and the Red Carpet City of the
South. In 2003, those
facilities merged with the dream for a
national military and inland waterway museum and resource
center.
Now see both
attractions for one low price!
Plus our 4,000-sq-ft
exhibits!
A walk through
the Vicksburg Battlefield Museum is a walk through military
and maritime history. Ships and boats long forgotten
come to life in exact replica.
The
World's Largest Collection of
War Between the States Gunboats!
Within
the walls of our museum, the Steamer Sprague, Big Mama of
the Mississippi, lives again. She is joined by hundreds of
vessels from every period in United States
history. From
the strange dragon-headed "Western Engineer," to
the famous racing "Robert E. Lee" and
"Natchez," to the earliest submarines and latest
fighting ships. New
models are being added every month from some of America's
best model makers.

Mississippi.

River" shows different types of civilian craft
