Grand Gulf Military State Park
Grand Gulf Military State Park, Military park and historic site in Claiborne County, Mississippi, US.
The 400-acre park contains Fort Cobun and Fort Wade earthworks, a museum, campgrounds, hiking trails, an observation tower, and restored buildings from the 1800s.
During the American Civil War in 1863, the site's Confederate batteries successfully repelled Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant during the Battle of Grand Gulf.
The Confederate Memorial Chapel, constructed in 1868, represents religious architecture of the post-Civil War period and was relocated from Rodney to the park in 1983.
The park operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering RV camping with full hookups at 50/30 amp, water, and sewage facilities for $23-25 per night.
The park preserves the remnants of Grand Gulf, a former Mississippi River port town that vanished after river changes and Civil War destruction.
