Port Gibson
Port Gibson rests neatly between Vicksburg and Natchez
on the Mighty Mississippi River. This historical town, settled in 1788
through a Spanish land grant issued to Samuel Gibson, has preserved its
timeless heritage and storied past in lavish 19th Century homes, old storefronts
and Civil War battlefields, museums and parks. General U.S. Grant, in
a rare detour from his "scorched earth" policy, declared the
town of Port Gibson "too beautiful to burn", thus saving it
from a fate suffered by many cities throughout the Old South.
For the perfect getaway discover Port Gibson, where the possibilities
are endless.
