Amid giant moss covered oaks, lies the Grand Gulf Cemetery.
Visitors can read of the fate of the town from many markers left standing there.
They stand as solitary reminders of days gone by. Grand Gulf was the main burial ground for the early inhabitants of the old town of Grand Gulf sitiated on the Mississippi River between Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi. The cemetery has been maintained by Grand Gulf Military State Park. However, a series of damaging events have taken place threatening the continued preservation of the cemetery. The cemetery is situated on a high steep ridge of highly erodible soil.
