About Port Gibson, MS

Port Gibson lies along US Highway 61 between Vicksburg (10 miles north) and the Louisiana border in Mississippi's river country. Most visitors arrive via the direct route from Vicksburg, though State Highway 18 provides east-west access to rural areas and connects to Interstate 20 about 15 miles away. The town sits on bluffs above the Mississippi River with rolling terrain typical of the Loess Hills region. General Grant reportedly called it "the town too beautiful to burn" during the Civil War, and its collection of preserved antebellum churches and mansions still lines the historic main street.
