My husband and I visited this welcome center as part of the Vicksburg driving tours. It is very attractive with much informative literature. Don't miss the view from the back porch of the river bridges - outstanding!
Quick stop location for maps and advice from knowledgeable staff. Clean restrooms are always a plus.
Love these centres; they are so helpful for anyone from out of town and these is so much history to this area that you definitely need help. Staff were very helpful and I found the artwork very interesting.Also the models of the soldiers and their clothing were so realistic - you could tell so much of the anguish from their eyes.Wonderful views of the river and bridges.
We pulled into Vicksburg and our first stop was the Welcome Center. While walking around enjoying the various paintings throughout the building a gentleman approached us to introduce himself as the artist and if we had any questions he'd gladly answer them. We didn't have any questions but we let him know we thought the paintings were beautiful. The Welcome Center was definitely welcoming. The staff were quick to offer coffee or info to everyone that walked through the door. We don't travel with pets but I noticed they had a dog park at the side of the building for tourists with pets that looked very clean and well maintained. The best part though was to see a train crossing the river on the old bridge that's still in use. I don't know what possessed me but for a moment I unwittingly reacted without thought and waved at the engineer. What is it about trains that brings out the kid in all of us? Next thing I knew he was giving us a short blast of the whistle. I'd of settled for a wave but the whistle was great. We walked the grounds and enjoyed it. It was a good way to relax before moving on.
Lady at the Welcome Center we went to was very imformative and friend, gave us a lot of great ideas for what to do on our visit. We are already planning another visit.
Stopped to get information and a map of Vicksburg. those working in the welcome center were very friendly and so willing to help. to share with us what would be interesting to see.
The staff there at Warren County Welcome Center are very helpful when you ask them questions about what to do and where to eat over there in Vicksburg, MS. Everyone was very nice & everyone owes it to theirself to go visit the Warren County Welcome Center in Vicksburg, MS.
This is a really nice welcome center. It has security present there which is a plus if you go there at night or if you are traveling with small children. The bathrooms are plentiful & clean. They also have a welcome to Mississippi sign there which is great if you missed the one off of I-20. Also you have a good view of the Mississippi River. There are lots of places to sit at the back of the welcome center that are shaded which is a plus for the summer. They also have vending machines. The rest rooms have changing tables in them for babies. There are a lot of pamphlets and coupons for things to do while in Mississippi.
This welcome center lived up to its name as the people made me feel very welcomed to the state of Mississippi and the city of Vicksburg. The lady behind the counter was also very informative and recommend some things for us to do. She showed where our hotel was and how close it was to the different attractions.loved being able to see the Mississippi River from there. It worth going to before visiting the city. Had lots of brochures from different attractions.
