Confederate Memorial Hall Museum

This place is not a museum it is a memorial. The way they portrayed history is incredibly sympathetic towards the confederacy In a museum u need to acknowledge all sides, yet there is no mention of slavery anywhere. The video they play is pure propaganda. The thing is u could write all this off if it wasn’t for the fact they SOLD CONFEDERATE FLAGS IN THE GIFT SHOP

This place is certainly overshadowed by the size of the building next to it, however it is quite a magnifying building on its own, the inside despite being so close to closing still had quite alot to look at, with a nice wood interior and plenty to see. Different perspectives are important in history, and this place certainly did quite that, the gift shop while very tiny had quite a bit, and far better pieces of antiquity for a museum then the larger one next door. Its a nice place with plenty of its own history, and was quite worth a visit if possible.

I feel this is an absolutely must see museum for history buffs. The oldest operating museum in Louisiana and second largest collection of Confederate memorabilia in the world. A very large representation of Louisiana units, soldiers and commanders. Original uniforms, flags, weapons and personnel effects all carried in the war. A really fascinating collection.

Beautiful building with great artifacts. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Must see if you enjoy history.

This is the oldest museum in Louisiana. In this museum, you’ll see a large collection of Confederate flags, military uniforms, and Louisiana made swords and guns. Adult admission is $10. You can probably spend 30 mins to 1 hr here. It’s across the street from the WW2 museum. Everything was well taken care of. It’s a self guided tour but yes I do wish they had more information on the overall Civil War.

I arrived about 40 minutes before their 4pm closing. The museum collection consists primarily of various personal possessions of officers of the Confederate Army and some key individuals of the Confederacy. It does not attempt to tell the full story of secession and the ensuing war, though of course all the exhibits relate to those events. It is therefore an entirely different experience from the lavishly narrated WW2 museum across the street. I found it worthwhile, but had no difficulty leaving before closing.

Historic and informative. This was a stop for my husband who is a history buff. The building itself is Historic and beautiful. Many original pieces and fascinating stories. Staff was kind and helpful. Would recommend if you're in the area!

Very informative displays of uniforms, weapons, flags, and artifacts.
