Port Hudson State Historic Site
Built in 1862, Port Hudson was a fortification constructed by the Confederates in order to block the Union's access to the river. After a 48-day siege, the Union was successful in capturing the fort, marking a major turning point in the war. The site now offers visitors a chance to explore and learn about the important events that took place there.
The historic site offers a variety of activities for visitors to immerse themselves in. From guided tours to interactive exhibits, visitors can witness the area's rich history come to life. There are also picnic areas and hiking trails for those looking for a more leisurely visit. A visit to Port Hudson State Historic Site is a wonderful opportunity for tourists and visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the Civil War's impact on the Mississippi River and its surrounding areas.
