About this Event

Join us as we unveil our newest permanent exhibition at Louisiana's Old State Capitol!

How did a nation "reconstruct" itself?

After a bloody Civil War, more than 300,000 Louisiana men, women, and children gained their freedom and began taking steps toward equality despite immense political turmoil and violence. Louisiana's long road to Reconstruction impacted the rest of our nation as a whole.

Step into our newest exhibition and experience history as it unfolds in our beloved castle on the river. We can't wait to welcome you.
