Camp Claiborne Museum 77 Longleaf Road, Longleaf, LA 71448

"Great museum the lady working there was very helpful the grounds are very large and it takes a while to view everything. We will definitely go back."

"This is a combination of an Army camp and a Mill. General Bradley is noted as the only "leg" to command the 82nd Airborne. He happened to simply be in command. General Ridgeway had the responsibility of planning, training and equipping the former 82nd Inf. Lots of photos bring back nostalgic times growing up in Massachusetts. The white scale used for weighing meat was something my great grandfather used."

"A fascinating place to stop. It’s not totally the museum you might expect to see in a major city. This is in part due to the fact it is privately owned. The odds are if it were government owned, roaming through all of the faclities would be a lot more restricted. There are a couple of buildings with excelletnt displays of forestry, the CCC, and a nearby USA camp. There are several older buildings some open and some ‘closed’. The closed buildings were closed because of safety reasons. IF you want a short walk, there is a trail with some desciptions of the facilities you can take. There were a couple of locomotives. The best of them is being restored and under cover. IF you time it right, you might catch a ride on the M4, a doodlebug. They have a collection of older trucks, tractors, small cranes used to cut timber. I would have to say that with the LA environment, visit the mill sooner than later. As I understand it the mill is also suppose to be haunted. I walked around in the late evening and never saw or heard anything Lots to see, lots to do. Lots to walk through and imagine seeing the wood that was cut there was used for WWII landing craft. IF you have small children, keep an eye on them. There are a lot of places and things they can get into where they can get hurt."

"This is an awesome place. It's really like four museums in one. All centered around an ancient historical sawmill. Best of all there are trains."

"Use to think of this as a wonderful place, spent a few days before Christmas there before my daughter passed from cancer. They had a special ride a train with santa. So when it came to booking our wedding there wasnt a second option. We paid in full and booked almost a year in advance. The morning of while we waiting for the bride to show up, they decided to have a high school band competition in the building next door. I talked with management who basically said the main office in Alexandria booked the bands. Weddings are booked by local management, nether really communicate. They offered to stop the bands for a break around the time we estimated the vows would be said. However we still had the start and dancing after drowned out with marching bands. Special day turned more stress and bad...."
