- Visiting Vicksburg Mississippi is a place you can experience true Southern hospitality and charm in its most authentic form. History runs deep in Vicksburg MS, which is showcased throughout town...within the marvelous antebellum homes, historic downtown, to the well manicured National Military Park, which pays homage to those who fought during the Civil War. You'll discover wonderful restaurants, shops and museum, and everything is walkable from downtown where you'll find plenty of parking.
Vicksburg MS is a city that harbors U.S. history at some of its most poignant turns. Art at its most creative angles. Vicksburg is bursting at the seams with local culture, character, art, entertainment and outdoor adventure. Perched on a hill, Vicksburg is perfectly positioned to offer sweeping views of the Mighty Mississippi River. If gaming is your thing, Vicksburg has four casino, as well as upscale shopping, dining and spas, along with some fascinating historic sites. Vicksburg MS offers an authentic Southern experience you don’t want to miss when visiting the Mississippi Delta.

When I look at this I want to go back to Vicksburg again!! You put together a great video again!!! 😀
I know, right?! Thank you, I think it turned out pretty well.

Thanks so much for this detailed tour! I can't wait to see all of the places you mentioned in this video. I've only been to Vicksburg downtown and to US Cairo Museum, I can't believe we didn't tour the whole city when I was there. After watching your video, I wanna go back soon!
😍✈️
Haha...she was embarrassed that she did not know, but who could blame her being from another country. If she asked us how many provenience's there were in Romania (where she is from), we would not be able to answer. ;-) So glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you get a chance to visit again one day soon. Thanks again for watching. Cheers, Mike
Thanks for the info on Vicksburg we are enjoying it here for a couple of days .
My pleasure. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you enjoy. All the best, Mike
The door in the haunted house looks upside down. Don't mind the negative comments. I am planning a trip to Mississippi this weekend and need to decide between Vicksburg, Jackson and Meridian. This video is great. Thank y'all for exploring and sharing. I love tomatoes. 😋
Ha, yeah, it could be. Thank you so much for the kind words. If I were you, I'd go to Vicksburg and Natchez (about 1.5 hours south of Vicksburg). Safe travels and thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike
Where did you decide? I am making this exact same decision, hence how I found this awesome video! I am for sure leaning more toward Vicksburg. 😊
Wow, so much history and intrigue...Vicksburg looks/sounds like a charming place to visit. Wow, that haunted house looked scary!
It really is a cool place to visit in the South. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Mike
I am taking a road trip and on the way home and plan on stopping in either Meridian or Vicksburg, doing my research now. Thanks for the delightful video!
My pleasure, so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike
Thanks for the charming video about my wonderful home town.

0:24 "where the rich history and Southern charm collide," (as she wipes the bug off her arm)
Haha...good catch. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Mike
Great video mike i hope to visit vicksburg someday im knowable about the civil war im from outside philadelphia pa and i use to go to gettysburg on weekends. Love the Lady who was with you love her accent were is she from?she is awesome
Thank you so much! I'm sure you would really enjoy Vicksburg. Ha, I'll let Miha know you said so, she is from Romania, but spent a lot of time in Belgium, so her accent is, shall I say, refined European (not just Romanian). Thanks for watching, much appreciated. Cheers, Mike
I'm glad to see you visiting this part of the country, however, sadly, you missed a huge part of the history and culture of this area. While you talked about the Civil War, there was no acknowledgement of the cotton industry and slavery, on which, that entire community was built. That haunted house you walked into had a bigger story than just ghosts and furniture. We can't continue to dance around, or worse, be ignorant to, the parts of American history that are unpleasant. That beautiful, young woman from Romania passed through all of that town without learning anything about Native Americans and African Americans. It's like taking a visit to Auschwitz and only talking about the architecture of the buildings. I hope you will study the real history of that area and re-visit. It's not to be trivialized. It's a rich, very important part of the American story
Thank you Carolyn for watching our video and for the thoughtful reply. You make some great points. That said, we only spent 3 days in Vicksburg, so it's a bit tough to learn all about the history in such a short amount of time. Additionally, we came at this from more of a tourist point of view and not necessarily history. I do get your point though, it would have been nice to include more history given its important to the culture. Again, I appreciate you leaving such an insightful comment. Hope you will check out some of our other road trip travel videos. Cheers, Mike & Miha.
