Thanks for the link. I didn't know of this place before. Looks interesting and it is reasonably close to me. Might have to plan a short drive over there and check it out ......
It is a great place to see. Also visit as PBK posted earlier & (Thanks !):

Plus!! If you email me before you visit, I will give you a personal tour that takes over an hour and a half. You will get to see things normal visitors dont see, like behind the scenes.

Right down the road a piece. 4 miles. Wayne really has some eye popping, jaw dropping artifacts in there. I was like a kid in a candy store, I just didn't know what I wanted the CW artifacts or the Indian artifacts. He helped me ID some of my old bottles. Come on over, I'll go with you. I'm getting ready to post his article written in the local newspaper about the USS Barataria.
For what it is worth it has a huge bone there that they say is a dinosaur found around there. There is a train ride on the weekends. The old school has a pipe organ it, the last time my wife and I were there they played it for us . Just thought some one might like to know.

Before Katrina, I had a book: Encyclopedia of Forts, Post, Named Camps and Other Military Installations in Louisiana, 1700-1981, by Powell A. Casey, it listed every known military site in the state. I tried to replace it, but $180.00, was the lowest price I could find in used condition. If you live in Louisiana, you may find a copy in a library, if you want that type of information.
