Every costume, photograph, throw, and treasured artifact has a story—and many of them began with a generous donation from someone who wanted to preserve our local Mardi Gras history.

Our collection continues to grow because of community members who believe these traditions deserve to be shared with future generations. Thank you to everyone who has helped make the museum what it is today.
