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.
Our
exhibit, "If It Floats, Put A Cannon On It!,"
features ships that fought on the Mississippi River during
the Civil War.
"They Also
Fought" includes submarines, blockade runners,
Confederate raiders, ironclads, tinclads, wooden gunboats,
and hospital ships in the Civil War.
Another
exhibit, "The Mississippians," highlights
our unique collection of model ships named after
Mississippi, Mississippians, and places in
Mississippi.
Our "Life on the
River" collection shows different types of civilian craft
that have operated on the Mississippi River and other inland
rivers throughout the nation and our history.
There is just too
much to describe.
Easy
In, Easy Out!
We

room available for bus parking.
