Louisiana State Seal

Louisiana Sites of Interest

 

The 18th state admitted to the Union, Louisiana was named after King Louis XIV of France.  It has a unique and diverse culture as a result of its colonial history, having changed hands between the French, Spanish, British, and Americans over the course

of just 34 years.  Fifty-eight years later, she would join with ten other Southern states as part of the Confederate States of America in a doomed rebellion against the Union.

 

Known as the "Pelican State" and the "Sportsman's Paradise," Louisiana has much to offer our visitors.  Click Here to learn a little more about us.
