Looking for guided tour of the park? Reserve a Licensed Battlefield Guide!

The Licensed Battlefield Guides have been making history come alive at Vicksburg National Military Park since the 1950's. They offer visitors the unique opportunity to explore the battlefield with a professional guide who has excellent knowledge of civilian life and military operations of the campaign, siege, and defense of Vicksburg in the spring and summer of 1863.

Tours are approximately two hours in length and can be arranged for individuals, families, and groups of all sizes. Tours can be customized to individual needs and levels of interest. Guides can also provide comprehensive campaign tours that cover the 18-month Union offensive for Vicksburg.

All guides have undergone an extensive credentialing and examination process prior to earning their license and are the local experts on the Civil War at Vicksburg.
