Vicksburg

Map on/off

Some more views of my hometown including its historic downtown and the National Military Park. (2000, 2005)

The brickstone streets of old downtown Vicksburg. Biedenharn Candy Store where Coca-Cola was bottled for the first time in the 1800s, now a museum of Coke memorabilia. Inside the Vicksburg National Military Park, a sprawling historic area filled with monuments and markers covering the old battlefield lines of the city. The largest memorial in the park, the Illinois Monument is a very recognized part of the park. Another main attraction of the park is the reconstructed Cairo, an old war ironclad that sank during the war and remained on the river bed until modern times.
