[Please excuse the delay in posting- here we go with another post!]
When we were in New Orleans back in December we had to kill some time since the National WWII Museum was closed for a special event in the morning. This was across the street from the parking lot where we parked. Now, most museums for me you don't have to sell me on. Their sign did it all for me "Louisiana's Oldest Museum" how could I not go?
The Confederate Memorial Hall Museum was established in 1891. It contains the second largest collection of Confederate Civil War items in the world. The one downside I always find to museums is that I wasn't allowed to take pictures. They do let you take pictures of the hall itself, but not of any specific artifacts. I understand why but it is always a bummer.
I always enjoy looking at uniforms from back in the day. They were so small compared to us now. Unfortunately since we visited back in December I can't remember any specific things that stood out to me. Definitely worth checking out if you are in NOLA. Here is a view of the right and left.
If you choose to visit just keep in mind they close for Mardi Gras. They are open Tuesday-Saturday 10am-4pm.
