I love a unique museum that is off the beaten path. This is out in the middle of no where, south of Gonzales, LA, on a Louisiana Army National Guard base and until recently housed those with leprosy. This museum shows how these people lived. It is a sad disease that disfigures the affected population, and there is a wealth of information at this museum. It shows how they lived, the kind of rooms they lived in, stories of individuals affected and detailed the minutia of their lives. Just jam packed with information. Come and take a look around. A few bucks and hours of things to look at. The docents are very proud of what they have.
Well done museum with a great deal of information and many displays. I'm in the medical field (nurse practitioner) and I found this museum truly amazing. The building and grounds are really nice as well.nYes, the museum's theme is a bit unusual, but it's well worth making the trek to visit for anyone interested in a fascinating part of USA history.
It's well thought out giving a quality overview. Fascinating!
This is an absolutely fascinating tour. Very much worth your time.
