Port Gibson Attractions 
28 mi. south of Vicksburg in Port Gibson, thought by General Grant to be almost as beautiful as Natchez, which explains why it has remained relatively unspoilt and still has some lovely pre-war houses. "Windsor", south of the town, was not so lucky - all that remains of that mansion are some impressive ruins.
Port Gibson (pop. 1,850) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
