Vicksburg is a progressive city where you will discover a community committed to excellence. It is a unique blend of old and new in a city that offers plenty to see and do. From the specialty shops of historic downtown to the outlet mall, shoppers experience a relaxed atmosphere and friendly people. The Vicksburg National Military Park captures a piece of American history in a sixteen mile tour featuring over 1,340 monuments, a restored Union gunboat, and National Cemetery. We have many Riverboat gaming locations that provide games of chance, not to mention a spectacular view of "Ole Man River."
Vicksburg, motivated toward prosperity and change, aggressive in attitude, and led by a city government committed to growth and service, invites you to take the time to get to know us. Attitude is everything and in Vicksburg ours is friendly and neighborly. The City of Vicksburg invites you to visit the "Red Carpet City of the South" where Southern Hospitality is alive and well and awaiting your arrival.
Come and experience what we enjoy everyday! "
Vicksburg, a fun place to visit...a great place to live!"
