 The
FALL OF DIXIE diorama depicts the battle for
Vicksburg.
This 250-square-foot layout of the battlefield
is manned by 2300
miniature soldiers.
A
View Unobstructed by Trees!
Wispy
puffs of smoke rise from Confederate muskets as the Union
soldiers try
to make their way up the hills surrounding
Vicksburg.
General
Grant may not know what General Pemberton is up to and vice
versa,
but you have the big picture. You are able to
quickly see the movements of two
great Armies, several
different Corps and a multitude of divisions.
The
intent of the armies are clear.
The
battlefield, made of foam and twigs and peopled with plastic
warriors, is the
brainchild of David Villere. He hand
painted the figures, taking about two days
to make a 4- by
4-inch diorama.
We're
Air Conditioned! The Park Isn't!
You
can walk the entire national military park for days and days
and never reach
the appreciation of its military genius or
an understanding of the military operations.
Before
you trek the park in the heat, mosquitoes and redbugs, cut
your learning curve
by starting with our diorama.
Easy
In, Easy Out!
We
are easy to get to from Interstate 20 and have plenty of
room available for bus
parking.
Take
EXIT 4!
