    My Grandfather’s sword is in this museum. It was given to him by General Jackson after the Battle of New Orleans in 1814. His name was Jacinto Dominic Lobrano. He sailed with the Pirate Jean Lafitte before the war…
    My Great uncle Frank Lobrano was with the Washington Artillery (New Orleans) during the Civil War…

We only got to spend about an hour and a half looking around but it was brilliant. We wondered if it had been affected by the hurricane and flooding a short time after we had left. Obviously not.

    They've done a lot of work there since we went in the mid-late 1990s. We love museums (historians....) and my husband was setting the computer statistic machines for the NFL Saints team. We would drive over from Houston, spend the night, then wander around for a day seeing the sights. And we stumbled on this one. It was nothing like it is now, and I'm amazed. We had heard that they had closed it permanently when the Lee statue at Lee circle was taken down. I'm glad it survives.

      The Lee Statue was still there in the 1980’s when I lived in the area and was a noble and elegant sight. The city screwed up removing it. HISTORY is what draws people to New Orleans. You don’t enrich your history by destroying it. The statue should be restored to its rightful place.

I don't know of any existing war era pictures of my ancestors, which is very sad to me. I do have a picture of my great-great grandfather as an old man.

    I hope that incredible collection is above flood level, being in New Orleans; I also had a relative in an Illinois unit, my Great-great Grandfather, a German immigrant was in the Illinois 39th Infantry, Company C the entire war, being captured once and escaping, and having some injuries which qualified him for a military disability pension, when he discharged out in Chicago after the war, they mis-spelled his last name (my cousin has copies of the discharge papers), so over concerns of loosing his pension he kept the mis-spelling as the family name

    The atrocities on the union side is rarely talked about. Plenty is talked about on the Confederate side. People tend to forget that the war was not as cut and dry as just saying slavery started the war. There is way more to it than that and isnt that superficial

      ​​​@@TheHistoryUnderground ?? I wasn't saying anything about this video. In general, there are and will be people in the comments who do think superficially. I think its very important while watching your videos about the civil war, to remember that these were regular people who fought for their states essentially. People don't look past their hatred as soon as they see a confederate flag for example. I think your videos are amazing at putting the human element into these stories. I will be in Losuianna this weekend and am sad I won't have enough time to see this place. Thank you for your videos.

      I’m grateful to see this comment. So many people don’t bother to look into why this war was fought. As a kid , I had a love for history. In school I questioned everything and was labeled to be a disruptive student. My 7th & 8th grade History teacher Mrs. Diehl actually told me “I hate having you in my class” all because I brought up questions about what I learned on my own from encyclopedias & other books. The Board of Education needs a re-haul.

    I was taken by my father down south as far as the Carolinas during the Centennial years of 1961-62. He was a great history buff and read American Heritage when it was delivered to the house in hard cover. He shared his love of history and the Civil War with me and I shared it with my son. My son and I joined a re-enactment group and participated in many encampments and battles. All history interests me. I was in New Orleans to visit the WW2 museum and wish I knew about this museum then. I will have to make another trip there soon. Thanks.

    My great great grandfather, and my great great great grandfather both fought at Vicksburg. They enlisted in Shreveport, boarded the Vicksburg, Shreveport, Pacific Railroad and made their way to Vicksburg shortly thereafter. After the futile defense they returned home the way they arrived. My great great grandfather was given a Morse code manual and encouraged by the train's conductor to learn to operate the telegraph key. He became a telegrapher on the railroad, and moved into an executive position with the railroad later in life. Paul, and Cab Gable. Almost a hundred and sixty years ago.

It was fabulous then and remains impressive now. It is definitely worth another visit to see the exhibits that have been added over the past 35 years.

      Why would they ever put one up to begin with? He was the leader of the Army of NORTHERN VIRGINIA, not Louisiana. In fact, he cared so little about the other states they he completely ignored orders to offer support to any of them. To put his statue up anywhere outside of Virginia is just asinine.

    Unfortunately I have not been in about 20 years. It's located at 900 Lee cr. "They" took down the Lee statue a few years ago ( can't have that now can we) so " they" might of changed the street name too.
