Confederate Memorial Hall Museum - War museum in New Orleans - 929 Camp St, USA

This is the oldest museum in Louisiana. In this museum, you’ll see a large collection of Confederate flags, military uniforms, and Louisiana made swords and guns. Adult admission is $10. You can probably spend 30 mins to 1 hr here. It’s across the street from the WW2 museum. Everything was well taken care of. It’s a self guided tour but yes I do wish they had more information on the overall Civil War.

I feel this is an absolutely must see museum for history buffs. The oldest operating museum in Louisiana and second largest collection of Confederate memorabilia in the world. A very large representation of Louisiana units, soldiers and commanders. Original uniforms, flags, weapons and personnel effects all carried in the war. A really fascinating collection.

This is a nice museum. Very interesting. The items on display all have a story attached to them with names/dates. Very well kept and displayed.

I arrived about 40 minutes before their 4pm closing. The museum collection consists primarily of various personal possessions of officers of the Confederate Army and some key individuals of the Confederacy. It does not attempt to tell the full story of secession and the ensuing war, though of course all the exhibits relate to those events. It is therefore an entirely different experience from the lavishly narrated WW2 museum across the street. I found it worthwhile, but had no difficulty leaving before closing.

Beware paying to visit this museum if you lack pro-Confederate sentiments. Virtually no mention of slavery, but plenty of slaveholder hero-worship. The fact they're peddling minstrel shows in the giftshop says it all.

Oldest running museum in New Orleans/Louisiana. Great care was taken in detailing and preserving the history of the confederates.

Beautiful historic museum with an awesome collection of flags and artifacts. Nice gift shop as well.

The artifacts are very beautifully displayed and clearly very well taken care of. You can tell that the folks who run the museum truly care about the history and preserving what they can while sharing it with the public. The multitude of artifacts that range from flags to journals and everything in between is absolutely astonishing. No matter the size of the piece, each piece is definitely given the same amount of love and attention. Seeing a cradle that President Davis and his wife rocked their children in truly gave us goosebumps. If you are ever in the New Orleans area we highly recommend that you stop by. It is literally right across the street from the WWII museum. Even the building itself is rich in history, and listening to the creaks in the floor as you walk through is something you don’t see very much these day. A huge thank you to the staff for your kindness and answering our questions. We will be back the next time we are in town.
