McRaven House
A pre-war mansion built across three eras, used as a Confederate hospital during the siege and known as 'the most haunted house in Mississippi.'
McRaven House consists of three parts: an 1797 frontier cabin, an 1836 Empire-style middle section, and an 1849 Greek Revival main house, which together show the evolution of early Vicksburg homes. During the siege, the house was used as a Confederate military hospital, and shell marks still remain on its exterior walls. Today it is open with antique furniture displays and guided tours. Because of its many ghost stories, it is known as 'the most haunted house in Mississippi,' and night ghost tours are very popular. Daytime tours cost about USD 15. Opening hours are flexible, so it is best to call ahead or book through the official website.
