Vicksburg MS

Since this thread includes "attractions" I am going to suggest you go see the Vicksburg National Military Park. You can drive through the area and stop at various sites where key Civil War battles were fought. At the end of the drive is the ironclad Cairo. It was fished out of the Yazoo River years ago and placed on display. It is covered and the ship has been pieced back together. It is quite impressive and you can actually walk through parts of it. Now keep it mind it is not all intact, but the frame is there and they have made a good effort for you to experience the size and layout of the ship.

Here is a link to my blog where I show pictures of it:

Cairo

Truly fascinating.
