History paradise for your husband is the Vicksburg Military Park in Vicksburg MS. Big enough to spend all day there! And just outside of it, minutes away, is a great quilt shop and one of my favorites: Stitch 'N Frame in Bovina MS. There's also a great place to get your lunch, The Bovina Cafe, just across Interstate 20 from Stitch N Frame. It's totally "local color", but the food is great and they have wonderful desserts that come with your meal. Fun place to eat.
