    Vicksburg is chock full of history. The Vicksburg National Military Park is a testament to the endurance and courage of the men who fought with honor for both the North and South during the Civil War. The park shows how the battlelines were drawn in graphic red and blue signs and monuments, telling the tale of the siege. There are historic homes all over the area from exquisite antebellums to inns that have stood the test of time (sometimes with the help of a restoration crew). The area is gorgeous in the spring and summer with the blooming of the flowers and trees, especially the wonderful Magnolias. Right on the Mississippi, the riverboat casinos offer great slot and table action if you're looking for games of chance - just be sure to bring Lady Luck (and a pocket full of change) with you. Vicksburg is also the home to a large outlet shopping center. The stores are full of name brand merchandise and who knows - you may actually find a good deal if you look hard enough.${QuickSuggestions} ${BestWay} The best way to get around is in the comfort of your own vehicle. Get a GOOD map of the town, because it is not laid out in straight lines, nor is everything in one place. The landscape is hilly and in places steep, so be careful in inclement weather.
