USS Cairo

Vicksburg National Military Park > USS Cairo Gunboat

The USS Cairo is one of seven steam-powered ironclad gunboats designed and built by James Eads for the Union Navy during the US civil war. All seven gunboats were built within 100 days.  The Cairo was sunk by a mine in December 1852 on the Yazoo River.  The wreck was discovered in 1956, and raised -- in pieces -- 102 years after she sank.

Be Safe, Not Sorry

Vicksburg Riverfront Murals

Unattractive concrete flood walls protect many river towns from river flooding. After a visit to the flood wall murals in Paducah, Kentucky, a group of Vicksburg, Mississippi, residents championed a similar project in Vicksburg.

Since 2002, the flood walls along the Yazoo River in Vicksburg have served as a canvas for capturing images of history and life in Vicksburg.

Yesterday's Children

Yesterday's Children Doll and Toy museum exhibits the late Carolyn Bakarich's huge doll collection. She opened the museum after her husband told her to do something about the collection that was overtaking their home, so that he could have a place to sit. The museum has been delighting visitors since 1986.

Sophia bought a doll before we left. I hope it isn't the start of a new collection.

If you charge admission, it isn't hoarding? Right?
