Self-Guided Park Tour

We suggest you begin the 16-mile tour at the visitor center, where the new interactive campaign map, exhibits, and a 20-minute film explain the campaign and siege of Vicksburg. The numbered stops on this tour are keyed to the map on the back of the park brochure. During the tour, visitors will notice either red or blue metal markers placed by the War Department as the first interpretation of the park. Blue markers pertain to Union lines or emplacements. Red markers pertain to Confederate forces.
