Port Hudson State Historic Site

Visit the site of one of the most important battles of the Civil War. The 1893 siege of Port Hudson led to some of the bloodiest battles of the war. It became the longest siege in American military history. Port Hudson is also the site of the landmark use of African American Native Guard troops against the Confederacy. Today, the historic site stands as a reminder to the important battles. Costumed re-enactments take place here several times a year.
