We had a catered family reunion Thanksgiving at the Martha Vick House which is the home the founder of Vicksburg built for his daughter Martha back in the 1830's. It is a beautifully restored home and may still be a Bed & Breakfast.

Coca-Cola was first bottled in Vicksburg, in 1894. The former Biedenharn Candy Company is now a museum dedicated to all thinks Coke.

If you are in Vicksburg March 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, or 26, see "Gold in the Hills". It has been presented annually since 1936 (that's 75 years!) and is the "Guinness Book of World Records".
