Confederate flags, including one that was never surrendered, the tie
worn by Jefferson Davis at his inauguration as Confederate
President, fine portraits, china and silver, exquisite antique
furniture, the trophy antlers won by the steamboat Robert E Lee in
an 1870 race, antebellum clothing, toys, Indian and pioneer
implements, and an original Teddy Bear given to a local child by
Theodore Roosevelt are just a few of the thousands of artifacts
which are housed in the Old Court House Museum- Eva W. Davis
Memorial.
The Old Court House, built in 1858, stands today as Vicksburg’s most
historic structure and has hosted such guests and speakers as
Jefferson Davis, Ulysses S. Grant, Booker T. Washington, Teddy
Roosevelt, and William McKinley. Won’t you visit us too?
