grand gulf military park印象

Having never traveled to Mississippi, we were determined to learn about the bloody battles that occurred there. We booked a guide beforehand who was very knowledgeable about everything from the generals in command of each side, the logistics of the actual battle scenes plus the memorials that were erected to honor the soldiers who fought there. We learned about Grant's hard-earned determination to win the battles and the resultant loss of life on both sides.We watched a film beforehand which was informative and technically well-executed.All in all, we valued our time there and learned so much.

The park is rather small, but does have a couple of interesting landmarks and a decent gift shop/museum. A nice stop if you are interested in Mississippi and Civil War history. A nice place for an overnight camper who wants to be out of the way and quiet.

My husband and I traveled to Port Gibson and made a stop by the Grand Gulf Military Park. The museum was very nice and we enjoyed walking through the cemetery before you reach the Park. It was amazing how many died of yellow fever there.

We stayed at the campground which is very nice. The Museum is interesting along with the buildings. There is also a spot you can view the Mississippi at water level.

Lots of attractions here from the civil war. Gives you a sence of how things were back than. Has a few carriages, herse, old fire engine, jail house, ammunitions storage and a small museum. They need some work. The old church and climbing up the observation deck is a must.

This little state run park holds a little of the remains of Grand Gulf, a boom town of the early 19th century. At one time this was the prime shipping port for cotton on the lower Mississippi. The river washed its downtown away and the town was in steep decline by the time of the civil war. Federal gunboats attacked twice, both times failing to dislodge the defenders. The position was made untenable by ground troups cutting off the position.A small museum holds various artifacts as well as carriages and an old fire engine. Other buildings include a jail, a church, and a 'dog-trot' house. The Wade house marks the site of the battlefield headquarters.A circle drive takes visitors through the battlements. Another road leads to excellent Mississippi River access. Camping and picnic grounds are available. \It's worth a stop.

Even though this military park is small they have a lot of great buildings and museum pieces. The buildings make great backdrops for pictures. There is also an old cemetery on the property that is cool if you enjoy that type of thing, which I do. You can climb up an observation tower and get a view of the Mississippi river. The admission at this time is $3.00 for adults, and $2.00 for senior citizens. Well worth the price!!!. The staff in the museum/visitor center is very friendly and helpful!!! They have a civil war ambulance on the property that I found pretty cool being in the medical field. Also while in the area check out the Windsor Ruins and if hungry the Old General Store.

Grand Gulf was something I just came across on a drive south on Highway 61. Although Vicksburg is a well known Civil War city, I had never heard of Grand Gulf. We enjoyed strolling the grounds and viewing the exhibits. Staff was very friendly. There weren't many visitors when we were they and we had plenty of time of view everything. Learned a lot about more about civil war history and of the area.

This park is located on the banks of the Mississippi between Vicksburg and Natchez. The museum has a good bit of local history along with some historic buildings and artifacts. The folks who work there were friendly and helpful - they provided us with detailed maps of other historic sites in the area. There is a road that goes out to the river - very serene. Well worth a detour.

This state run historical park preserves the remains of the two Confederate river batteries that protected Grand Gulf in April 1863. A nice little museum, a number of historic buildings, and friendly attendants. Evocative setting and worth the detour between Vicksburg and Natchez
