Has anyone been to the river museum in Tunica? What about the Corps of Engineers museum in Vicksburg? If so what are your thoughts?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Tupelo Automobile Museum if your going soon. All the cars will be auctioned off and museum is closing in March or April.
Featuring 120,000 square feet of automobile displays and open viewing restoration bays. Over 100 antique, classic and collectible automobiles, chronologically displayed, illustrate the progress of over 100 years of automobile design and engineering. Your self-guided tour begins with an 1886 Benz, representing the birth of the automobile, and culminates with a never-driven 1994 Dodge Viper. The collection, valued at over $6 million, includes a rare Tucker, a Lincoln previously owned by Elvis Presley, other movie and celebrity vehicles, Hispano Suizas, a Duesenberg, and many more rare brands and American favorites. Automobiles currently under restoration will be added to the display area as they are completed.

Did not know that. This has to be due to low annual attendance, right?

Jackson just opened the civil rights museum. It’s a must

Jane Spain made the bittersweet decision to sell the cars because, after 16 years, it was no longer sustainable to run the museum.
Proceeds from the sale of the collection – whose value ranges from nearly $10 million to perhaps twice as much or even more – will go to fund a charitable educational foundation.
The auction will be April 25-27, through a partnership with Bonhams Auctioneers and consultant Wayne Carini of Velocity Channel’s “Chasing Classic Cars.” Carini has been to Tupelo to review the collection, and he’ll be returning again next month.

Museum in Vicksburg isn't too bad. You can tour an old towboat and see the layout. Other museums in Vicksburg to check out are the Old Courthouse Museum and the museums in the military park. Some cool restaurants too. If you decide to check it out let me know and I can give you some recommendations on restaurants.
