Group: 15

(Louisiana, Eastern Texas)

Visited from Feb 10, 2022 to Feb 17, 2022 in Trip 3

This group will be one of my "winter" destinations. It includes sites along the Florida panhandle and Louisiana Gulf Coast, as well as some historical sites in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Included is the Vicksburg National Military Park, which I last visited in 1967! One new site, Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is not yet open, so I will only be able to get a photo of the place.

Park units in this group

Click on any of the parks listed below to see the page specific to that park.

Park pages for unvisited sites include information about the unit and a link to the NPS website's page.

For sites that I have visited, the park page will have my comments about the site, photos and links to both the NPS official page and my blog entry for that park visit.

The interactive map to the right shows the location of each unit. You can zoom in and move around on the map. The rectangle icon in the top right will expand the map to full screen. Clicking on any unit in the map will open a small information window. The map and icons on it are based on the same information found in the Google Earth KML files, which you can download from the Home page.
