Grand Gulf Military Park, Mississippi

Grand Gulf is another Civil War site on a side road off of Mile Post 45, on the Natchez Trace. Located along the Mississippi River, it is now a park of restored or moved historical buildings. Grand Gulf has a campground, so we had lots of time to explore. The Spanish moss hanging on trees in the cemetery made the place look very mysterious. The look-out tower allows people toview the great river in three directions. The metal jail cell looked ominous. There was a one-man submarine that was used for smuggling liquor during Prohibition. I enjoyed the collection of horse-drawn carriages, including a hearse and a Civil War hospital wagon.
