Beautifully done and sobering. Must visit for anyone interested in history. Be sure to watch the video in Visitor's Center and the mini-ones in the display room. The USS Cairo museum is very well done as well and worth the stop. The NPS has an audio tour on their app. It is only ok, but better than nothing.

I absolutely recommend the visit here to anyone. The battlefield has some markers scattered through the battlefield, like many others I have visited. It is so different here from many other battlefields, because of the terrain. Many are flatter, but this battlefield is very hilly from the trenches. I wish that the visitor center was bigger, I feel that it is too small for a battle of this importance, many other battlefields have big visitor centers with museums. I also wish that the visitor center was open everyday, this is due to changes affecting all NPS Units, it is very sad to see. My last wish is that the battlefield should be cleared like it was during the battle. Many areas have markers, but you can't see the areas, because of all of the trees and vegetation. It wasn't like this during the battle. The USS Cairo museum was great, along with the national cemetery next to it. If your nearby and can take a day trip, I would absolutely recommend it.

Going to Vicksburg I didn’t know what to expect. I was met with friendly people as well as a wealth of knowledge and history. Unfortunately we weren’t able to stay and explore this park as much or as in depth as I would have liked but what we saw was great. We watched the video in the visitors center first then went on the drive. I appreciated that everything was color coded…made it easy to know what was what. The Illinois monument was incredible. I would definitely visit this again and spend more time here if we drive through this area again.

I visited on a 92 degree summer day. I was able to see most of the battlefield from the car but there are several critical areas from the battle and statues that you should get out and see. The movie at the visitors center gives you a good overview.

What an amazing experience this was. I was amazed at how much information was along the drive. Give yourself several hours. There is so much information and stops to make. I learned so much through the drive. Such a remarkable experiences

The Visitor Center is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so we did not see what they had to offer. We took the auto tour through the park. You travel through the Union lines and then through the Confederate section. There are hundreds of monuments and markers commemorating the fighting units that were involved. Also, markers describing battlefield movements throughout the siege. I would plan to visit the USS Cairo museum. This was a Union ironclad ship that was sunk and recovered. The restored ship is on display aling with many oeriod artifacts found on the site. There is also the National Cemetery in the valley below the museum. Hallowed ground and a must for history buffs.

This was so interesting, wish they kept up with the landscaping a little more as some of the plaques were off in the distance away from the road with knee high grass. Needless to say we didn’t venture out to read those with our little ones but, we still enjoyed our time here viewing the other historical places.

Museum, gift shop, and restrooms inside. Very respectful, welcoming staff. I liked that their staff took great care in bringing down the American flag during the start of a heavy storm to protect it. Lots of parking. National cemetery across the parking lot overlooking the Mississippi River. Very peaceful surroundings. Handful of picnic areas for use.

I’ve been here several times on road trips. I enjoyed it so much I brought my teen boys to see it this time. They were very interested and liked they could actually walk out on the boat and see the cannons, etc. A museum is attached and informative. The Beautiful grounds are good for birding, also. I entered with my National Park Pass.

This was amazing we loved all the information and visiting. The girl was very helpful and friendly at the museum. The park was so very interesting but didn’t get to see everything. It is must see if you love history

History buffs and people who just don’t care will both enjoy this display. Walk through the Cairo and read all of the interesting facts and figures. Make it a quick trip and or take some time and visit the museum and nearby cemetery.

Really interesting exhibit. Part of Vicksburg National Military Park. Has a nice museum and gift shop. Really enjoyed visiting.

This is an amazing boat. So interesting how these boats were made and how they ran. What a find and restoration project!

Fabulous restored Union gunboat and on display of a Union boat built in St Louie and sailed to Vicksburg to join the battle against the commies (Oops, Confederates), sunk in the Yazoo River by a possible Confederate mine. Discoverd and dug out of the river in 1959

Beautiful and interesting murals. I like that they're right on the Mississippi River. Just wish that you didn't have to walk up and down a hill to get to them from the main street.

Absolutely beautiful murals and such detail in them too!! Definitely a nice place to walk around and enjoy history and fresh air. Right beside the Mississippi River as well!!

A great series of panels painted along the Mississippi River flood wall detailing life in and around Vicksburg over the years. It is a touristy area as well as local frolicking in the nearby water park and folks having picnics on the weekend while enjoying the nice weather.

This is a great little walk. We took the time to read all of the information with the murals, and the history included is varied and fascinating. One tip: We went in the morning, because we didn't want to go during the hottest part of the day. However, we realized from the sun position, that we probably would have been in the shade had we gone in late afternoon. 🤷‍♀️

I loved it you get highlights of both Mississippi and Vicksburg

The murals were very nicely done. They are across the street from a little city park with a splash pad. It had a few picnic tables and some shade. It was an older park that needed some updates. The murals, however blocked the view of the river. It was a boat entrance. It would have been really nice to be able to see the river from the park.

Cool set of murals with the history and key moments of Vicksburg's past and it's famous residents.

This was not our first visit, but it's been several years since we were last here. There were many new additions, and a little rearranging since our previous trip. So many things to see. I'm grateful for those who preserve history like this. The museum is a former court house, two story (handicap lift available to get you upstairs if needed), and slap full of amazing, well organized and maintained pieces of history. Entry fee is reasonable, I believe we paid $10/person, but it's less for seniors and children. Honestly, we will probably stop in anytime we visit Vicksburg, that's how much we enjoy this place. I definitely recommend adding this to your list of places to visit if you're in town, or passing through.

As someone who appreciates historic architecture, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the old courthouse museum. The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout, making the experience all the more pleasant. A delightful surprise was Eva, the resident outdoor cat, who added an extra touch of charm to the visit. As a proud cat parent myself, her presence truly made the day unforgettable.

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing!!! I loved every second of this nature and the lesson that came with it !!! 1st parolee in vicksburh, ms!!! Thank u guys

Really interesting eclectic exhibits on the history of Vicksburg. So much to see, and it's very well arranged.

We highly recommend this museum. Great place with many wonderfulartifacts! Easily accessible by the ramp Outside on one side of the building. There is a chair lift to take you up to the second floor if you can't do stairs. The staff is very friendly and very helpful.

Wonderful historical experience! Great for the whole family or anyone who is interested in Civil War history. Plan an hour minimum. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Gift shop was great. Displays are informative and well organized. Sparked a lot of interest in the Civil War for my children.

Has awesome displays, explanations of the cival war, drawings/pictures of the war at Vicksburg. Many artillery shells with fuse explanations, costumes of the period, tools, the original clock mechanism. Drawing of the mechanism under water which sunk the gun boat U S S Charo. There was a reading stating the residents would not celebrate 4th of July for a century.

Small museum that shows the history of Coca Cola being bottled in the region. They have cokes available for sale from 1991 to current day. They also lots of coke memorabilia for sale. They sell coke floats as well. It cost $3 per person to get into the museum side. Not much to see here beyond what you see in the picks. Suggest skipping and visiting the Atlanta Coca Cola Museum instead.

Great collection of coca-cola products, was interesting to read about the history behind some of these items and see what they looked like throughout time.

3.50 admission fee, small but very good coca cola nostalgia! We enjoyed going back in time! Go out back and visit the old fountain station building! Hunter was very nice and we enjoyed it!

Being a bottle collector and fan of Coca-Cola, I really enjoyed this museum. You can even order a Coke or float to enjoy while taking the tour.

I learned today that Coca-Cola was first bottled here in Vicksburg. What a neat little museum. It was only a $3.50 entry fee and it took about 20 minutes to walk through. Recommend stopping in if you enjoy history. They also have some souvenirs and gifts at the end of the self-guided tour you could purchase.

Nice little Coca-Cola museum with tons of history and collections. My only complaint is that the bottled sodas we purchased could have been colder. I mean, it is promoted as "ice cold Coca-Cola."The entrance fee is very reasonable.

Very interesting history and beautiful displays. Gives the full history of coca-cola and how it became a household item. Definitely recommend stopping by!

What a great museum! There are a lot of displays and videos about the impact of the Mississippi River and the impacts on the topography of all the areas it flows through. I really found the interactive portions to help put it into perspective and show how things change and how man can help lessen the impacts of environmental factors. The gentleman working was very friendly. Free admission and there is free parking nearby.

I loved this museum and the ship. It seemed as if several of their audio-visual elements were down like the theater and several of the kiosks, but it is a very thorough and detailed history of the river and Vicksburg and the Army Corps of Engineers. I learned a lot I didn't know and it will give you a greater appreciation for the Corps of Engineers.

We had never heard of this place, even being from Mississippi. Took a road trip after my wife saw it online. The museum itself is somewhat interesting, but the tugboat named Motor Vessel Mississippi  IV, attached to the museum was very cool. Basically fully maintained since 1961. It’s a large tugboat that the US Army Corp if Engineers used. Very cool. Admission $3.50.

A nice little afternoon stop on a roadtrip. I picked it out for my dad, who I was traveling with, despite not having any particular interest myself, but I wound up reading every display and really enjoying the history lesson. And of course, I love a good old boat, so that part was excellent! On a Saturday afternoon there was almost no one there, so don't worry about crowds. Parking is street from what I could find, but wasn't an issue.

It is pretty cool to check out if you haven't been on a working boat and this is coming from a person who works on tugs and pushboats. I worked on the red pushboat and company United Tugs as deckhand from the start of towing / tailing the riverboat down south to Hudson Drydock in Morgan City, La.. Then taken barge and boat back up through the Achafalaya river; having to cut the mast off the top of the wheelhouse to fit under the overpass during low tide and still was able to touch the bridge while passing under. That was me climbing the later with the life vest and dressed in black. It was a wonderful experience that I'll never forget and just as exciting visiting it 10 years after as a museum. I was so young then and the Vicksburg people were so nice and very friendly and such a beautiful place. The only problem was after listening to some music that afternoon having a couple this flat swamp land boy was worried about walking down dat hill to get back to da boat. Hahahaha.

Nice museum with quite a few informational displays. It is clean and you can tour the large rowboat on display. Admission is free and they have restroom facilities. It is located close to the river in historic downtown.

Nice museum with information & exhibits on the history of the Mississippi River & Vicksburg.

Unfortunately we arrived right after closing time on a quiet Saturday evening. Hopefully can return and visit it one day. Walked around the outside and took some photos just the same. The old rail cars are showing a bit of neglect and corrosion but I hope the interior holds some nice exhibits.

So much information to get through. The diorama of the battle grounds is a must see! Helped put everything in perspective and made the National Park drive through so much more realistic. Could have spent hours there but didn't realize we needed that much time- came too close to the closing. That may be why the ladies there didn't do anything but turn on the trains for a few min and then the video in the next room- which ended up not playing. We were encouraged to look at both floors of things, but they never circulated and couldn't answer our questions.

The Old Depot Museum of Vicksburg is a very eclectic collection of railroad memorabilia, model trains, ships and Vicksburg history in an old train depot. The building itself is historically significant and nice to look at. There is really a little of everything here including a scale model of the Vicksburg battlefield. A very interesting place to visit.

Popped in out of Curiosity and what a pleasant surprise! Very informed Staff, buy entry to The Museum.....Fun and Fascinating.

Friendly staff, and it's not just trains! There was military and transportation and even my favorite Coca-Cola room! If you haven't, you need to!

Lots to see here... model trains, models of many warships from several eras, and other artwork. For me, the most worthwhile item was the diorama of the Vicksburg siege. If your itinerary includes the battlefield drive, seeing this diorama first might help put things in a more understandable perspective.

Many of the museums in Vicksburg are within walking distance. Wife and I did seven museums in 2 day, spending less than a $1,000 on a 4 day 3 night trip including lodging at a B&B, as well as fuel and food.

Road trip from Texas to east coast - my family of five chose to spend a night at this amazing historic home. Every single employee and the young couple owners were the epitome of genuine southern hospitality. Hard working and friendly and devoted to sharing the history of this incredible home. We unfortunately left clothes in the closet and they mailed them to my destination! God bless them and we would absolutely love to return!

The service was outstanding. We had meant to book for the same night but I had accidentally booked the wrong date. They immediately resolved the issue for us with no hesitation. The room itself was beautiful and surprisingly toddler friendly. We were able to use the pool which was a real treat. And the breakfast was stellar, best ive had in a while. But I would say where this b&b stands out is its amazing customer service and above average staff. Thank you for such a special visit.

Friendly convenient clean. Great for dinner. Nice pool. Breakfast was uneven but I won't down rate rather to encourage. Monday looked and tasted like weekend leftovers with tepid coffee in short supply. Tuesday almost perfect...2 eggs please. Wednesday, one egg please for the waffles.

The property is a beautifully appointed Ante Bellum Mansion and your stay comes with a tour of the house. Rooms were excellent with real glasses and coffee/tea cups. Wait staff in the restaurant were professional and very helpful. The cuisine was delicious Southern fare with a twist. Bed was firm and comfy and there were a couple types of pillows to choose from. Would stay here again if I come through town!

I think this could have been an amazing experience but unfortunately for me personally, it was a disappointment. My husband and I booked a stay here to be able to escape stress and enjoy a romantic dinner together. I was so excited for a steak. I ordered mine medium well. When our dinner came, I cut in mine and it was very rare. We sent it back and they apologized and said it was a thicker cut than they usually have. They brought it back, I cut into it, it looked done but it was just the piece I cut into when I initially got it. When the waitress walked off, I cut another piece and again, extremely rare. I couldn’t fine the waitress and my husband was halfway done with his meal. I lost my appetite at this point because I lost the opportunity to have dinner with him and even if someone had been available to send it back a 2nd time, I would have been eating by myself because my husband was almost done with his meal. He ended up eating my steak too. Not even a discount was offered. I left hungry. Anytime a fillet is ordered at medium well or well, it should be butterflied in order for it to cook to the right temperature. I definitely WOULD recommend to someone else but make sure you ask for your steak to be butterflied unless you enjoy a rare steak. They don’t seem to know to do it. The room was nice and Michael was great but I did book the room for the meal and it was such a let down.

Anytime you are in Vicksburg to enjoy the many excellent historic places, enjoy the arts, music and scenery, seriously consider staying with Anna Kate and Sam at this bed and breakfast. Beautiful setting, excellent outdoor pool, restaurant to brag about, and walkable location to almost anything you would need or want to do. Service was friendly, impeccable. Highly recommend.

Anchuca inn is so rich in history in fact the whole area has tons of big, old homes. The ladies that were checking us in were so nice and very knowledgeable. The room was beautiful and you can smell the old. The bed was comfortable and it stayed pretty quiet even with is being in the very last room closest to the road. We had to leave early so I wasn’t able to try the breakfast. I had to call the owners to find out what to do with the key since there was no overnight box and they were extremely nice. We will definitely be back when we can spend more time in the area and learn more about the history.

This was not our first visit, but it's been several years since we were last here. There were many new additions, and a little rearranging since our previous trip. So many things to see. I'm grateful for those who preserve history like this. The museum is a former court house, two story (handicap lift available to get you upstairs if needed), and slap full of amazing, well organized and maintained pieces of history. Entry fee is reasonable, I believe we paid $10/person, but it's less for seniors and children. Honestly, we will probably stop in anytime we visit Vicksburg, that's how much we enjoy this place.

Wow!!! Absolutely amazing!!! I loved every second of this nature and the lesson that came with it !!! 1st parolee in vicksburh, ms!!! Thank u guys

Really interesting eclectic exhibits on the history of Vicksburg. So much to see, and it's very well arranged.

We highly recommend this museum. Great place with many wonderfulartifacts! Easily accessible by the ramp Outside on one side of the building. There is a chair lift to take you up to the second floor if you can't do stairs. The staff is very friendly and very helpful.

Wonderful historical experience! Great for the whole family or anyone who is interested in Civil War history. Plan an hour minimum. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Gift shop was great. Displays are informative and well organized. Sparked a lot of interest in the Civil War for my children.

Has awesome displays, explanations of the cival war, drawings/pictures of the war at Vicksburg. Many artillery shells with fuse explanations, costumes of the period, tools, the original clock mechanism. Drawing of the mechanism under water which sunk the gun boat U S S Charo. There was a reading stating the residents would not celebrate 4th of July for a century.

Employees are friendly, but there's really nothing impressive about the place. Cool history, but not worth the $15/person entry fee. There are some pieces that remain in the home from previous owners, or items found on the property over time, but a good bit is simply "true to the era" of the section of the house it's in. Don't get me wrong, I love old stuff, and history, so I did enjoy looking at things and hearing the stories, but I got bored quickly. I imagine they offer the tour in an attempt to tell the history of the place, otherwise, there wouldn't be much draw. Sad to say, but I wouldn't recommend this place unless it was free or had a lower entry fee; it's just not worth it (IMO).

We had the perfect tour experience! Our guide was knowledgeable, the history was fascinating, and the home was the perfect mix of southern gothic charm and macabre. This is a can’t-miss experience if you are visiting Vicksburg!

Let's start with the good, the house is beautiful and very well accommodated with period pieces . We went for a haunted tour and it looks spooky at night . The tour itself was not good. There were 2 tour guides who contradicted eachother. The stories were poorly told and jumped back and fourth . It could have been so much better.

I went on the haunted tour for 7 PM. Firstly, the house is beautiful inside and out. I’d love to visit during the day to take it all in. As for the tour itself, the actors delivered their stories well! My personal favorite was the last lady who pointed out my PTK shirt 😅. But everyone was interactive with the guests in their own way. Great tour!

This has to be one of the craziest experiences I have ever had! I do believe that ghosts exist but always skeptical if things are legitimate. I have visited many haunted sites as I live in South Louisiana. This experience was like no other! Our tour guide Landon was full of knowledge about the property and the families that lived there. The first interesting thing happened when we entered the bedroom that Mary had passed away in. The light on the side table turned itself off! We then headed into Andrew's room. Landon warned us before we walked in that there is a heavy presence feeling in there. I 100% felt it the second I stepped into the room! I felt as if someone had hung weights on my body. Just a very heavy feeling. Landon proceeded to tell us about Andrew and his history. She mentioned pretty extensively that he is very handsy. She said that she has personally felt his hands on her backside and thighs. She also said that other guests have reported the same. It sounded very interesting but of course you can't help but wonder if people embellish the story just to make it more interesting. I did not feel Andrew's hands on me. We then went down into the kitchen for the final part of the tour. I had my phone in my hand because I am a big photo taker and was snapping lots of shots. The camera was on. I must have snapped a photo by accident. The photo was of the tour guide, my friend, and my legs and feet. When I looked at the photo I was in utter and complete shock! There is what very clearly appears to be a man's arm with veins sticking out and and outstretched hand as if it was trying to grab my leg!!! I had a blue long sleeve shirt on so absolutely was not my arm! There was no one else there but us three girls! I have photos of the whole kitchen area and there is nothing there that this could have been!

It was my first paranormal experience ever, and it was broad daylight! My tour guide, Steve was awesome and so knowledgeable! And a secret hint. Just remember, ravioli maker and homemade egg carton maker! Sorry Steve!

My daughter and I did the candle light tour. She’s 11 and usually not impressed by anything but she enjoyed the stories and acting! They take groups of 10 at a time so it’s not crowded. I did have a few little scares. I smelled a really strong ammonia smell like ammonia mixed with flowers, my daughter couldn’t smell anything. I also felt something like a feather on my arm and hand and had a little rash on my hand while I was there. Yes I could have been sensitive to some kind of plant or something in the environment but hey it’s supposed to be haunted right? It was a good time, the owner and employees obviously care a lot about the place and that’s pretty cool to see. I’d like to go back and do a daytime tour to see more of the house and grounds. My only advice is to wear flat shoes! The walkway and stairs are a little tricky if you’re wearing heels :)

A nice visitors center with a great view of the Mississippi River and the bridges crossing here. At the time of my visit it was clean with clean restrooms and a place to walk your leashed pet. There were a few cars here and I took the time to walk around a bit. Unfortunately some of the places were closed to the public like the observation deck and nearby Navy Circle.

I always enjoy stopping at this spot during my travels—it offers stunning views of the Mississippi River and the iconic bridges that cross it. The visitor center’s unique architecture has always caught my eye, though during this visit I learned that it's slated for demolition to make way for a more modern facility. While I appreciate the vision for the future, I’ll miss the classic colonnade design that gave the structure its charm. This was my first time going inside, and although it’s a beautiful space, it did carry a somber vibe of funeral home that made the planned update feel justified. I’m genuinely curious to see how the new structure will honor the location’s character while bringing a fresh experience.

The view is beautiful off the back of the property! There are 2 bridges going over the Mississippi River and the property is well maintained! The outside access restrooms are not very well kept. The inside access restrooms are much better! They have a little pet area and a little wooden foot bridge you can walk along. They have a couple vending machines on the opposite side of the building which is great but neither of them would take cash and the card reader was down on both. Overall it was still a nice place to stop and it was worth the photo op!!

This is a beautiful stop to stretch your legs but not the cleanest bathrooms by any means. There’s plenty of spots to relax and just look at the beautiful bridges and guides as per usual for a welcome center. The foot bridge is open randomly but there is a website you can check. It was closed to public today so I couldn’t tell you about it. I have came to this rest area multiple times and it has always been closed. Overall nice area to stop. But does loose a star for the poor bathroom experience. At least the toilets were cleanish.

I have been here both in the day time and night. Beautiful building, great for a photo and getting info about the local area. The walk a around the building is perfect for taking photos of the bridge.

Cool place to stop and look out over the Mississippi River in my little bit about Mississippi. Had lots of information on Mississippi. Pretty cool place. We try and stop the ever time we're in Mississippi.

UN-Welcome Center! Mississippi doesn't care about human safety! I had driven 11 hours and it was 9pm, hard rain making it dangerous to continue driving on I-20. Cars and trucks going slow with flashers on, to explain how hard it was raining. I stopped at the welcome center for safety. Yes it was closed, which was fine. I just needed some sleep and off the road pulling my camper. Not another car in the parking lot (also fine). Rain eased up so I walked my dogs, got them in the camper,, dried them, fed them, changed into dry clothes and was going to sleep till morning. Security guy knocked on camper door. I checked to say hello and he said I couldn't stay there. "2 hr max parking", he said. I explained I was tired and couldn't safely drive in the rain. "Sorry, you have to leave. 2 hr max parking" . Not a sole in the parking lot but me. It was fine to drive sleepy in unsafe weather, kill myself or others, but I can't park in the 'WELCOME' Center in Mississippi! No wonder Mississippi ranks 50th in any ranking or rating in the country! They're #1 in Rude Welcome Centers!

The Catfish Row Art Park has a nice collection of structures that to me resemble the old stack caps of riverboats. A nice area to stroll and admire the art that is all around. There are also some historic plaques displayed in the area. The water feature was not working while we were there but I understand it is very nice.

If you look at the mural it seems odd to me that indigenous people were using dimensional lumber. I did not know that they has sawmills.

It was an interesting place to see art related to the area over time

Some of the art is missing or been vandalized. The park itself is really clean with picnic tables for a lunch.

LOVE this park!! So clean and family friendly!! We also loved the murals across the road that are so rich in state history.

Worth checking out. The Coca-Cola museum is close by, plus shopping areas.

Its amazing palace whit a good painting on the wall its amazing

Don't waste your time & money, it's not worth it. The hotel & casino is run by lazy, rude and uncaring people. The front desk lady at the hotel gave us cards that didn't work, refused to give us the $20 promotion and had an attitude. The hotel itself is run down. There's no elevator, and the room reeks of heavy smoke despite asking for a non-smoking room. The Players Club attendant (another rude lady) could care less about her job or customers. I asked about promotions, she said she didn't know so I went online. I downloaded the app & received a $5 promotion which never loaded & she couldn't help me, btw I never received the promotion. The casino bar is a joke. I waited a good 30 minutes before finally finding a girl who said "I'll be right there" as she stood talking to a lady playing. The drinks were free but you'll have a hard time finding staff to order one. As I got ready to walk from the casino to the hotel, I found out the interior walkway was closed due to staff shortage so we walked out of the casino and down the parking lot. It just wasn't a good experience. Btw, I'm not bitter because I lost, I only lost $40 but my husband won a few hundred. The whole experience was just frustrating & a waste of time and energy. It looks like it's time for Bally's to clean house.

Nice and clean. However the 3 card poker table was closed. It's the only table game I play. I'll try again soon.

I tried to like this place. I like a lot of the games they have, but the place is way to sketchy. People stand over your shoulder while you are trying to play asking you for money. I've been 3 times in 3 weeks i've been asked for money a minumum of 5 times each visit. Not going back here again.

This place is awful. The hotel is nasty outdated. Not safe at all. The parking lot smells like sewage. If I could leave no stars I would. When I tell you this is like living a nightmare I mean it.

Yall need to get updated on your machines everywhere else is better but here some of these are soo old they need to be long gone months ago get with the program and get new machines!!

Fun place to visit. Small intimate experience. Friendly employees.

The artic was filled with precious words of art big and small. Met the owner and curator and she was a delight. The people working were so friendly and knowledgeable about all the local artists pieces. Will definitely return if I'm in Vicksburg, again. Definitely worth the stop in!

Very cool art gallery with some amazing local artwork.

What a great little gallery of mainly folk art. We really loved this place. Really cool space with local art filling every brim. Some fun and funky pieces of jewelry and art in all mediums. Beautiful watercolors, some great mixed media, just great stuff. We would highly recommend this place.

I love this amazing little Gallery. I want to go back to Vicksburg just to purchase Art. The owner was so nice and new all the artist personally. There was so much to see. I wanted everything. If you are passing near Vicksburg, MS it is definitely worth the stop. Also grab one excellent cup of coffee from the coffee shop downstairs.

I came. I browsed. I bought. I fell in love. The Attic Gallery is not just a place, it's a passion. The love and respect of art and artist is woven into the visual tapestry of color and texture and pleasure while the oohs and ahhs and sharp inhales and soft clinks and clanks of arranging and rearranging treasures becomes the joyous soundtrack of the shopping experience. This first visit I was overwhelmed with the urge for beautiful pottery. I hope for more visits and purchases. What a wonderful atmosphere these lovely, smart, knowledgeable ladies have created as they curate and caretake precious works.

Very beautiful art studio. Lots of amazing art. Serious art! Really amazing place.

This is an amazing gallery. There was so many things I could have bought! It sells a wide ranging collection of extremely high quality regional artists. It is so amazing to talk with people who can give you wonderful insights to the artists some of whom have provided work to the gallery for decades. It is an absolute must visit. I look forward to hanging my artwork when I return to New Zealand.
