Vicksburg National Military Park is the most visited cultural site in Mississippi, welcoming more than 400,000 visitors in 2024. But its cramped 1960s-era visitor center is no longer up to the task of interpreting and orienting so many people to one of the Civil War’s most important campaigns.

A new Vicksburg Civil War Visitor Center is scheduled to open its doors in 2028 and do more than service the park’s main footprint – it will serve as a gateway to the region’s rich history, guiding visitors through stories beyond the siege, through galleries spanning civilian life from before the Civil War to Reconstruction.

Designed by award-winning architects with a modern aesthetic meant to echo battlefield earthworks, the new museum and visitor center will also have sufficient space for interpretive programming, school resources, guided tours and more.

The project is a combined effort spearheaded by the state of Mississippi and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, with further assistance from Vicksburg National Military Park and Friends of Vicksburg National Military Park and Campaign – all fully supported by the American Battlefield Trust.

The success of this collaborative and universally desired effort requires the transfer of two small parcels of land – totaling about 11 acres – from the park to the State of Mississippi for construction to proceed.

✍️ Sign our letter to your federal legislators, asking them to support Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act (S. 1016 and H.R. 4467) and clearing the way for this much needed upgrade to one of America’s most important historic sites: https://bit.ly/473yWcv
