Louisiana State Oil and Gas Museum

Louisiana State Oil and Gas Museum interprets the fascinating drama of Louisiana’s early oil industry history though photographs, fi lms and life-size dioramas. This part of Louisiana, of course, was built on the oil and gas industry, and those visitors interested in the technical aspects of oil fi eld work will fi nd the museum particularly appealing. Across the street and next to the old train depot, an interesting collection of machinery, rigs and equipment further illustrates the character of oil and gas production.
