Camp Moore
Tangipahoa, Tangipahoa County · Louisiana
Erected 2020
The state closed the Camp Moore museum in 1986 during a budget shortfall. The Camp Moore Historical Association reopened it in June 1993 under a 97-year lease. The museum, built in 1965 to resemble a Creole antebellum residence, sits with the cemetery on roughly seven acres the state parks office owns, a fraction of the 450 acres the camp once covered. Sons of Confederate Veterans, the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Children of the Confederacy have worked with the legislature since the 1890s to keep up the graves, a long Confederate memorial effort.
