The 5 Best History Museums in Shreveport, Louisiana (LA)
The Red River is the heart and soul of Shreveport, a cultural and gaming center on the Louisiana/Texas border. Riverboat casinos evoke the glamour and mystery of the past while providing modern travelers with thrills and excitement. If the tables aren't your style, take a trip over the neon-lit Texas Street Bridge to the horse-racing at Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, Shreveport's thriving sister city. Visitors can unwind in one of Shreveport's botanical oases and enjoy the area's fine waterfront dining, shopping and entertainment. Shreveport sizzles in the summertime but has a temperate climate for the rest of the year.

During our recent visit from England, UK to New Orleans, we visited Louisiana State Museum where the ground floor exhibitions, pictures and videos was all about the devastation, floods and aftermath from Hurricane Karina which hit New Orleans in 2005. The upper floor of the museum is a fabulous focus in the famous New Orleans Mardi Gras... with lots of the beautiful costumes worn over the years and an insight into the many Krews and Queens eyc who have ever participated in this annual event. The next Mardi Gras will be in Spring 2020. There is an admission fee to this museum but if you are on one of the Gray Line Walking Tours then admission is included in the tour price

It's small and easily breezed through but know that it's full of interesting information and displays. And as the really great tour guide who starts you off in the Water Works Museum next door says, the air-conditioned train museum is great for cooling you down after the hot trek through the (otherwise wonderful and amazing) Waterworks Museum. It has a donation box, throw them something into it, we did.
