The
Old Depot Museum in Vicksburg, Mississippi, contains an eclectic collection of things related to the Mississippi River and Vicksburg. It was recommended to us by a local as a place we should visit prior to visiting the
Vicksburg National Military Park -- specifically to see the overview of the territory offered by the museum's diorama of the battlefield.
