Vicksburg National Military Park, located in Vicksburg, Mississippi, commemorates one of the most pivotal battles of the American Civil War—the Siege of Vicksburg. The park spans over 1,800 acres and includes a 16-mile tour road that guides visitors through key locations of the siege. It features over 1,300 monuments, markers, and tablets, which honor the soldiers and units that participated in the battle. The USS Cairo Museum, which houses a restored Civil War-era ironclad gunboat, offers a unique glimpse into naval warfare of the period. Visitors can also explore the Vicksburg National Cemetery, where over 17,000 Union soldiers are buried.
