Day 1: Check into your hotel or bed and breakfast and get ready for an adventure. No trip to Vicksburg would be complete without a tour of the Vicksburg National Military Park. The good thing about bringing your family to Vicksburg is the amount of history they will learn while enjoying time with family.

One of the fi rst teddy bears is also housed there. The Old Depot Museum is a transportation museum in an old train station.
