Old Courthouse Museum, Vicksburg, Mississippi, U. S. A.

There are several gorgeous old pianos at the
Old Courthouse Museum, Vicksburg, Mississippi, U. S. A.

Some are in great shape, but this one above has some wear.

Others were in much better shape.

What an awesome experience to stand next to these huge pillars and imagine what it must have been like to live in a home such as this.  The home survived the Civil War by being occupied by the Union Army, just to burn down in 1890 from a carelessly thrown cigarette.

The sky was disappointing the day we were there, but the websites below have some better shots.

We took a short trip to Vicksburg and Natchez, Mississippi in December.  The Old Courthouse Museum in Vicksburg has a lot of history and memorabilia.  Visit if you can.

Guess where these were taken.

Yes, Natchez, Mississippi.

Mississippi - Part Sixteen - Natchez, morning, noon, and night

I'm glad that I used text instead of numerals for the "Part so-n-so" in the title.
Text is a little less obvious about how long this has been going on.

All of these shots are along the river bank in Natchez, Mississippi
I'm showing the below shot again for perspective.

Natchez sets high above the Mississippi River.  See the walls right below the buildings in the above shot?

These are those walls.  They are huge.
The above shots were taken in the evening.

The shots below were taken in the morning.

The Grand Hotel is across the street from the park which runs along the river bank.
It appears to be a new structure.

See those people on the right edge of the shot?
They were rescuing a tiny kitten from a man-hole.
It had ridden to work that day underneath the car of an employee.

I never know how to end these things.

Visit Mississippi!
