• The Siege of Vicksburg: For 47 days, the Union General US Grant held the Confederate Army and city of Vicksburg under a hard and brutal siege.

The multiple sites are managed under one administration and are located in and around a 40-mile radius surrounding Vicksburg, Mississippi. Sites related to the Campaign For Vicksburg include the Port Gibson Unit (Shaifer House), Raymond Unit (Battle of Raymond), and Champion Hill (Crossroads and Coker House). The Siege of Vicksburg sites include the main battlefield and National Cemetery within the City of Vicksburg, Pemberton's Headquarters, Louisiana Circle, Navy Circle, and the USS Cairo.

Because of the integrity of the resources, Vicksburg National Military Park, the USS Cairo, and the National Cemetery are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition, the engines and boilers of the USS Cairo are Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmarks, and Pemberton's Headquarters has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.
