Neat addition to downtown Vburg. Wish they would get the river model water pump turned on or working so ppl can enjoy that part of the museum as well :/

Nice museum, nice volunteers. Great quality for free! Variety of displays. Got a real feeling for the history of the place. Loved being able to go to most areas of the ship; not too busy, and no pressure to rush.

I loved this museum. First of all, it's completely free! I went with my kids ages 2, 4, and 6 and we all enjoyed it. The people at the information desk were SO nice and answered all of our questions. They have an entire boat next to the museum that you can explore. There are 4 levels and it was a lot of fun to see a piece of the Mississippi River history. There are activities in every level of the boat. The main deck is also air conditioned. The other exhibits were also fun. They had a fresh aquarium with catfish and bass. There were displays about the history and development of Vicksburg and the importance of water travel ways. Outside they had a water and sand table and a model of the Mississippi River for the kids to splash in. When we left they gave the kids water safety bags. I also left my phone there on accident and the folks there helped me relocate it.

Jake Weber

Jim Sherman met me at the door at introduced me to the museum. He made such an impression that I still remember his name, and that never happens. I love museums and honestly this type is not my thing but I loved it and definitely learned something. Very professionally done.

Very modern, well designed museum dedicated to the two centuries the US has spent trying to coexist with the Mississippi. In addition to the museum exhibits, there is an outdoor map of the Mississippi a block long, and an entire US Army Corps of Engineers river boat you can wander around and explore. All free.

Check out this cool museum for free. Good family experience and does not take long to see everything. Nice addition to a day of walking around Vburg.

Staff was great and let us in at 3:45 even though they close at 4. The guy at the front desk told us to take our time and make sure we see everything. The exhibits were great and everything was well organized and functional.

Quiet and fun to explore. Definitely recommend it to AmeriCorps members staying at the Southern Campus.

Debra Waters

The guides where very knowledgeable about the history of the Mississippi river, and the best places to eat, locally. I really enjoyed this visit. The Mississippi IV was especially impressive, to me. With free admission, and an awesome tour to take, you shouldn't miss this if you are in Vicksburg .

Ezeikel Newton

Very Fun and Interesting. There's a real decommissioned ship there.

Tamla Turner

Great place to visit...very interesting display...wonderful spaces available to host events as well. My kids love this place!

John Petermann

I used to work on the Mississippi river so this museum really brought back some great memories. You can take your time to look how life on the river was all those years ago. It took about an hour for us to go all through the exhibit, well worth it. Full of history.

Emily Cole

Not a very large museum, but packed with interesting facts about the Mississippi river. The 7 minute movie at the start is great, and the self- guided tour of the boat is cool. Kids are going to love the boat, but be careful. The stairs are typical for a boat, steep and narrow. And all of this is Free!

mike ankner

Ad for army Corp of engineers...but free and a nice stop.

yolanda horne

A great place for families to visit.

David Bowden

Very informative of the lower Mississippi River and how the core of engineers plays a big roll in helping the environment and preventing erosion and flood damage

Amanda Perez

Elenka

(Translated by Google) Very interesting exhibition and free! Apart from history, it is explained or shown in the video how to attach the river floor, so that the Mississippi in the constant thunderstorms does not spread and the ship can also learn a lot from life on the river. In the visitor center there is of course the air conditioning (essential in the temperatures), toilets and drinking water. You can plan a good 1 hour here. (Original) Sehr interessante Ausstellung und gratis! Ausser Geschichte wird es erklärt bzw. im Video gezeigt wie man den Flussboden befestigt, damit der Mississippi bei den ständigen Gewittern sich nicht verbreitet und am Schiff kann man auch einiges aus dem Leben am Fluss erfahren. Im Besucherzentrum gibt es natürlich die Klimaanlage (bei den Temperaturen unentbehrlich), Toiletten und Trinkwasser. Man kann hier gut 1 Stunde einplanen.

CMC JD Newkirk

Fun, interesting

Candice Mitchell

My boys (2 and 7) loved the ship and the museum.

Levi Guillory

Great place to bring family to learn about the mighty Mississippi and the Army Corps of Engineers who care for it. And it's all free

Burt Strickland

Wonderful place to take the kids

Joe Clearwater

Free museum, Tells the story of the river

Gary Slo-Poke Guillory

It is a nice museum. It's biggest draw is the retired CoE boat. There is no reason they can't have ALL of it open for the visitors. The actual museum is pretty empty and just touches the tip of the iceberg so to speak, on the history of the river and the job of the USACoE on the river. There is SO MUCH more they could add to this museum.

Richard Henriksen Jr

Excellent museum, staff, and a wonderful learning experience.

Shane Wenger

Informative on the flood of 1927

Leanna Rhoads

Great experience and fun

Dileep kumar

Not many shops, most are closed. No many activities. Good place for branded garments

Crystal Batey

Great place to learn about the Mississippi River from first settlements to wildlife to the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project the United States Army Corps of Engineers has really done alot of great work to keep the river in plac. Be sure to watch the excellent educational video when you first stop into the museum. When you go into the boat just leave the stroller behind. The narrow halls and stairs make it difficult to manuever a stroller.

Slam 420

Gary Gipson

One of the top things we did while we were in town.

Nykia Townsend

Sarah B

We have visited this museum EVERY year for the last five years. It is full of history, and even with a four year old, the tour is very manageable on your own without a guided tour. Great place to visit.

Paula Istok

Nice place Forno history about engineers in the work in the Mississippi River. The last corp boat in the river it's in this Museum there you can see it mostly all in the 5 floor they have

Melissa Bradley

Great display for all ages. The tugboat is awesome.

Mike and Shawna Hual

We had a great time walking all over the ship and the interactive displays were very informative. We certainly learned a lot about the river and the Corps work.

David Sidoti

This is a very small museum, but it is free! For its small size, it has quite a lot of interaction exhibits to help students and visitors learn about the history of the Mississippi River. I thought I was taught a lot back in elementary school about this river, but turns out there is a lot more I didn't know. The museum had multiple interesting facts to offer about the history of the river and the city of Vicksburg. It was a pleasant place to visit. The even have a decommissioned steam ship here which is enormous. The staff were all terribly kind and welcoming. If you have free time in Vicksburg, I recommend coming here to learn a few new things.

Joseph Mitchell Jr.

Very informative.

Jolinda Lauderdale

Very enjoyable and learned a lot. The staff were very pleasant.

Candy Domination

Nearline Anderson

The people there were so helpful with helping us find our way around the museum! They even helped us find local restaurants that we may enjoy!

Kerry H

Excellent museum. Free admission. Pkenty of parking. Very interactive for both adults and children. A very pleasant environment. Great historical experience. The view of the Mississippi River is awesome. Highly suggest for adults, kids and entire families. Plenty of areas to sit down for folks who need it. The steps in the ship are a little tricky because they are very steep. Still an enjoyable experience.

RICO R

Cool place to visit

Andrew Clark

Very interesting and interactive, great to see what life was like on a boat.

BOURBON QUEEN

Awesome museum indeed, I been over 10 million times at least I feel I have.. Anyway, love the staff and the best part about the museum is actually aboarding the boat itself! Definitely going again soon!

Stacy Bazyn

Free, tug boat open to tour, nice dioramas!

Michael Graham

Free to get in! The staff are super nice. The river boat is the star attraction. And wow what a experience. Did i mention its free!

Courtney S Huell
