The Louisiana National Guard Museums are dedicated to educating the public about the history of the Louisiana National Guard and other aspects of Louisiana military history. Military History and Weapons Museum, is located at Jackson Barracks in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward. It exhibits the history of the state's militia and National Guard from colonial times through modern day missions. The Louisiana Maneuvers and Military Museum,located at Camp Beauregard in Pineville, also covers Guard history, but focuses more heavily on the contributions of Central Louisiana. The Louisiana Maneuvers during World War II, centered at Camp Beauregard, represented the largest domestic training exercises in the nation's history. Both museums are inside active military bases. While a photo ID is required for entry, our MPs are always glad to welcome you and give you directions once inside.

Vintage vehicles are always a hit. Louisiana Maneuvers and Military Museum showed off some great vehicles at Fall Fest and hope to have jeep rides ready for next year!

Americans on the home front looked forward hopefully during autumn 1944 to a relatively quick end to the European Theater of World War II, even though that event would not happen until the following spring. That hopefulness led patriotic groups in Alexandria to plan a large Armistice Day parade for November 11 celebrating Allied success in pushing N**i forces back toward Germany as well as remembering the sacrifices made by the World War I generation of soldiers.
