点评:Started at the visitors center with the 20 minute film about the 47-day siege at Vicksburg Battlefield. The film set us up well to better enjoy the driving tour, which we spent four hours on. (It could be done in less time. We’re just history nerds.) It was a gorgeous spring day, so we left the windows down and enjoyed the birdsong throughout the drive. Be sure to download the NPS app so you can listen to the audio explanations of the 15 main stops along the drive. Very informative. There are many places to get out and walk around to read explanatory signs and see the beautiful monuments up close. Don’t miss the remains of the Cairo iron-clad warship. Very neat. The cemetery with literally thousands of graves - marked and unmarked - is sobering. We love all things National Park related, and this NPS site was great.
翻译:我们从游客中心开始,观看了一部20分钟的影片,讲述了维克斯堡战场长达47天的围攻战。这部影片让我们更好地享受了接下来的自驾游,我们花了四个小时。(其实时间可以更短,我们只是历史爱好者。)那天是个阳光明媚的春日,我们摇下车窗,一路聆听鸟鸣。一定要下载国家公园管理局(NPS)的应用程序,这样你就可以收听沿途15个主要景点的语音讲解,信息量非常丰富。沿途有很多地方可以下车步行,阅读说明牌,近距离欣赏美丽的纪念碑。千万不要错过开罗号铁甲舰的残骸,非常壮观。墓地里成千上万的坟墓——有的有标记,有的没有——令人肃然起敬。我们热爱一切与国家公园相关的事物,而这个国家公园管理局的景点也让我们印象深刻。
