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.

Sh***un Jazz Band says they have kept true to a few guiding principles: bluesy, no-nonsense melodies, old New Orleans-style ensemble playing, a stomping rhythm section, and the abiding belief that New Orleans Jazz is essentially party music and as such, playing and listening to it should be fun.

So join us October 15th for a true jazz experience. Visit our website for details and tickets. 🎺
