Confederate Memorial Hall Museum

Small, very well-curated civil war museum in a beautiful building. The focus of this museum seems to be to mainly to preserve and display artifacts. Other reviewers that complain that they "wanted other stories told" are missing the point. While those stories should be told, this is not the venue. As a Northerner I did not grow up understanding the civil war, why those who fought did so, and the utter devastation that was experienced by the Southern states. I only knew the over-simplified version we learned in school. But like any major historical event, there are no simple explanations, but many biased ones. History is not good guys and bad guys, it's the story of complicated, complex people and concepts. People in other reviews comparing the South to N**i Germany clearly understand the Civil War even less than they understand WW2. This museum is an amazing place where an important piece of history is preserved. One that many are trying very hard to erase. If you want to see more Union relics I suggest you go to the Civill War museums in Lancaster, PA, or even Richmond VA. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here and it was well worth $15. Recommended to all who seek to better understand this tragic and complicated chapter of our shared history.

I did not realize I had written a review before. I'll update this with more info. 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.

Not sure what I was expecting, but I was a little caught off-guard once we went through the museum that it's marketed as a "Civil War" museum, but really it's more of a Confederacy Museum. The location on Google Maps says "Confederate Memorial Hall," but the signage says Civil War museum. From the NOLA Visitor Information Center, they advised that all the artifacts were donated by local families. I do agree with other reviews that this collection does not detail anything about African Americans and Slavery during the Civil War, it is all about the Confederacy. I understand this is the south and they were part of the confederacy, but it's not a well-rounded Civil War museum and I wish I'd known before paying admission ($10/pp). Felt a little bit like false-advertising.Restrooms are located downstairs. Museum is self-guided, and they have a 10-15 minute video that plays in back about the confederate soldiers, some local history, and some details about the battles nearby.

Has lots of confederate artifacts. Definitely worth stopping in to see it if you are in to u.s. and military history.

If you haven't been in a while, go back. They've great updated their museum, and it's in a really cool, old building. I will admit that it is not quite up to par with some of the other museums of this type that I have been to, but they have things in here NO ONE else has! It's a really good, informative, and educational exhibit. I also like that it is more from the Southern side of the conflict, and offers a slightly varied opinion of the war. It's interesting, too, that it is right around the corner from Lee Circle where the statue of Robert E. Lee was removed.

This civil war museum has some awesome artifacts displayed. It displayed trees embedded with grape shot and cannon balls.

Got some great artifacts and the staff is very helpful. A smaller museum but we'll worth the admission!

I seem to be picking up a whole bunch of Confederate sites lately but I'm visiting through the South and, well, they were part of the Confederacy. I'm not really a fan of the CSA, but I am a fan of history and this is all about history and a very important part of the history of the USA.This hall is a tremendous collection of Confederate memorabilia, including uniforms, maps, weapons, recovered bullets, coins, battle flags and personal possessions. The museum is densely packed but it's all viewable and very interesting.Plan for an hour or two at last. More if you're planning on reading it all. There's a lot.Gift shop has replicas of some items for sale as well as postcards and the like.Tip: Consider heading over to Biloxi for the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library, https://www.yelp.com/biz/beauvoir-jefferson-davis-shrine-biloxi-3?hrid=BWsZt2A-u_ExRjKPtx8scQ.[Review 14215 overall, 1537 of 2020, number 34 in Louisiana.]

Neat place, it's only $10 for a long hall and small room to the side. If you are in the area for the WW11 museum it is an easy add on.

This museum had many interesting artifacts but is misleading. It is normally titled as "The Civil War Museum," but only shows the confederate artifacts. The plaques hadn't been edited in years. They were not objective. Nothing in the entire museum talked about slavery, and there weren't any Union Artifacts. It was a very disappointing experience. Don't waste your money.
