We rode the St. Charles streetcar to Lee Circle and got off and went to the D-Day Museum. I'm not sure if these museums 'count' as being in the Garden District, but we did get to them by the St. Charles streetcar.

The museum pictured is the Confederate Museum which contains the second largest collection of Confederate memorabilia in the world in the oldest continually operating museum in Louisiana. It was founded in 1891 by Confederate veterens who have donated most of the materials such as uniforms, battle flags, guns, and pictures. They also have an online store.

We didn't go to this museum - instead we went to the D-Day museum across the street.

I did not expect to enjoy this but it was VERY well done. There were two terrific movies - one about the D-Day invasion of Normandy (D-Day Remembered) and the other about the war in the Pacific (Price for Peace), including talking about the A-bomb. Each was about 45 minutes.

They had personal stories from participants on both sides, and exhibits of things like war bonds, and various uniforms. We got there about 2:40 and they had to kick us out at 5:00.

Open seven days a week 9:00 am - 5:00 pm.

There is another museum planned across the street.
