Sunday in Vicksburg

I can't believe it is already Sunday!  Wow...our anniversary weekend is passing by way to fast.  We slept in this morning...perhaps because we have been staying up late talking or watching movies.  Our day began with brunch at Cafe' Anchuca....simply elegant!  There was a formal luncheon at the mansion today so we'll have to go back tomorrow to tour the home...I can't wait!

Christ Episcopal Church (1839)  During the siege of 1863, the Rev. W.W. Lord conducted daily services in spite of the shellings.  It features two Tiffany stained-glass windows.  We didn't get to take a peek inside...maybe next time!

The view around the church...

Next... time for a little refreshment...so we headed to the Biedenharn Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia (1890)  Coca-Cola was first bottled here in 1894.

Our final tour of the day was at the Old Court House Museum (1858-1860)  It is a beautiful antebellum structure which houses thousands of artifacts ranging from pre-Columbian implements, Civil War artifacts and beyond.

The lovely dress on the right was worn by a local Vicksburg lady during the siege.
