JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A new Civil War Museum is coming to the city of Vicksburg in 2028. Planning and designing are underway for Vicksburg’s newest tourist attraction, an interpretive center.

Vicksburg National Military Park was established in 1899 at the battleground. It commemorates the siege and its role in the Civil War, as well as those who fought.

Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi is receiving over $5 million toward restoring a key Civil War monument and removing a building that previously was used as a visitors’ center.
