Tangipahoa Parish,
located less than one hour from New Orleans at the intersection
of I-55 and I-12, offers a 1000-ft. swamp walk, an alligator farm and 900-acre exotic animal
safari...antiques, collectibles, arts & crafts, museums and historic districts...bed & breakfasts,
first class hotels and tree-shaded RV parks. The annual Strawberry, Oyster and Dairy festivals
highlight the area's agriculture, while Old Farmer's Day, Oktoberfest, Italian and
Black Heritage festivals celebrate the local culture, making us known as the "Festival Capital
of Louisiana."
Camp Moore Confederate Museum keeps history alive with artifacts and documents relating
to Louisiana Civil War history, although the original camp was completely destroyed
before the Civil War was over. Hundreds of graves in
Camp Moore Cemetary
reflect the memories
of the Confederate soldiers who lost their lives there.
