Strength in numbers

We have long believed that if all of Vicksburg’s wonderful tourism venues worked together for the common good we would all be successful. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the 16 venues who rallied and joined together to weave Tapestry.

The success of Tapestry is due in a large part to the outstanding support given by the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors. From the beginning, we all gathered with Bill Seratt on a weekly basis to create Tapestry. His creative energy and vision served to inspire us.

Our appreciation goes Nancy Bell and the Biedenharn Candy Company Museum for serving as our ticket venue.

A very special thanks goes to all of those who attended our tours and expressed their compliments. We hope you came away with a true sense of Vicksburg’s living history.
