Driving from Memphis to Houston around 1995 on July 4 , went through Vicksburg at sunrise.I took the exit to go through that Civil War park. I didn't realize the significance of the date until reading the signs in the park. Beautiful place to view the Mississippi River

Have you ever seen so many marble and granite monuments

Huge things. CSA and Federal

We used to drive over mid 70s from Jackson and skateboard the hills

I went last year....the Cairo and whanot

My grandad and dads old construction biz renovated the original museum.....courthouse.... grand gulf outbuildings

I was around all that a lot as a boy

We had family homes on prior battlefields....old Vicksburg road etc

Now in Franklin u live on yet another

A southern fact of life outsiders can’t relate to
