This museum was amazing. It has so much information and things from before, during, and after the Civil War.
A mummy coffin so that bodies could be transported over long distances without much decay.
Overseers house on the plantation.
Slave house.
Making sugar and other products from the syrup. Wood was used to make heat. The closer bowl is smaller and would get hot and would make a different product than the other bowls.
One of the oldest Acadian houses.
A darkie statue that honored colored men who were emancipated and acted the right way. It is left over from the Jim Crow South era and not politically correct today.
A dog trot house. Love this style with technically two houses split by a walkway.
A jail that has 4″ of boards so that an axe cannot get through to release prisoners.
I walked the black swamp pathway afterwards.
And, of course. I was able to see the LSU tiger that is housed close to the stadium.
