You&rsquo;ll drive past Civil War battlefields, monuments, memorials, cannons, trenches, and preserved military positions throughout Vicksburg National Military Park while learning about the Siege of Vicksburg and its importance during the Civil War.

After booking, you&rsquo;ll receive access to a mobile app featuring GPS-triggered audio commentary. As you drive through Vicksburg National Military Park, the app automatically plays stories and historical information connected to nearby landmarks and battle sites.

Yes, the tour is suitable for families and older children interested in American history and military history. The driving format also makes it a convenient option for families travelling together.

Your expedition through Vicksburg National Military Park commences outside the Visitor Center near the northern entrance. As you delve deeper into the park, the weight of the American Civil War surrounds you. You&#39;ll pass monuments like the Minnesota and Iowa Monuments, each telling tales of the soldiers hailing from these states. Along the way, you&#39;ll hear about the leadup to this titanic struggle, as General Ulysses S. Grant marched inevitably toward Vicksburg.

You&#39;ll hear accounts of the Battles of Chickasaw Bayou and Arkansas Post, then stop at the historic Shirley House, the only wartime structure remaining in the park. Next, relive the fiery bombardment of the Grand Gulf and learn about the crucial role of Black soldiers in the Civil War. Then continue to the awe-inspiring Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.

From there, you&#39;ll head to the Vicksburg National Cemetery, which serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. Rows upon rows of tombstones represent Union soldiers who gave their all. The cemetery&#39;s tranquility contrasts sharply with the ongoing narrative of Grant&#39;s campaign, as you revisit the battles of Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hill, and the Big Black River Bridge.

The final segments of your journey dive into the climax of the siege, the surrender, and the eventual aftermath and significance of this battle. Your expedition concludes just down the street from the Visitor Center where it began.
