Historical Marker
Camp Moore #6
Tangipahoa, Tangipahoa County · Louisiana
The log cabin at this stop is a 20th-century building, not a camp relic. Believed to date from 1929, it was the meeting house of Camp Moore Chapter No. 562 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, modeled on a UDC cabin in Mansfield, Louisiana, and it was moved here years ago. The chapter's work and the monument dedicated on September 9, 1979, belong to the Lost Cause tradition, which honored soldiers while passing over that the Confederacy fought to preserve slavery. The state's 1965 museum, built to look like a Creole antebellum house, belongs to the same story.
