The Great River Road Museum

You could spend an entire day in the museum alone, there is so much to see and learn. Great collection of the South's history. We got the $55 package (adult) that included the Museum, The Houmas House and the Grounds. You can purchase tickets seperately if you dont want to do all the tours. The Museum and the Grounds are Self Guided Tours. The Houmas House is a Guided tour by someone dressed in period clothing. They tours start every half hour. Our Guide was Ruby and she was very knowledgeable of the homes history.

I think this is a wonderful museum. It gives the timeline of the settlement of the Mississippi River in Louisiana. The wax figures are in need of some love and attention, but they were moved here from the Conti Wax Museum that was in the French Quarter in New Orleans and I am glad they are in a place with more funding and foot traffic to Garner more attention.

This museum is first class! If you are interested in Louisiana history, you will want to visit. Various mannequins throughout the museum help to make the scenes seem more realistic.

A beautiful museum. Gives you an insight into the history of Louisiana and settlements along the Mississippi river. The wax mannequins make the scenes more realistic.

Wow! If you haven't been to the Houmas House lately I suggest you go back soon! What a beautiful addition! I had lunch with no wait. Kind of pricy but well worth it. I was thinking of seeing the grounds for some destress at lunch but was pleasantly surprised at seeing a part of the new exhibit getting to the Cafe!

You have to add this to your places to see when you're visiting the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area. It's an excellent museum of rich history. There are many artifacts that tell the story of the Mississippi River delta.

Very unique and interesting maritime museum located at Houmas House Plantation. Everything Louisiana is here -- Plantations, war, maritime, Mardi Gras, artifacts, maps, its all covered here. Very close attention to detail was used when creating this museum. Well worth a visit. You will be in awe. No other Plantation in this state holds a candle to Houmas House.

Very nice museum that takes you down River Road and tells you about all the plantations. This is a self guided tour. There are many artifacts and wax figures to see.

Beautiful grounds, wonderful restaurants, informative museum.
You can easily spend the day wandering through the breathtakingly beautiful gardens.

So much information about the great river road. Located on the grounds of houmas house mansion.
