I Just stopped by the amazing Imperial Calcasieu Museum to discuss some antiques and I have to say I left smiling at the experience. I am a historian by education so to see the excitement of Ashley, Anna and on the previous visit Rachel regarding local history was awesome! They are so enthusiastic about our local history and that brings significant value to adults and children alike.
I took my daughter there earlier in the year and she left inspired and interested in our local history, not because of me but because of the staff. The museum is so impressive. It's not impressive because of its scale (it is small) but rather in the way that it pays a comprehensive tribute to our local history. The space may be smaller than some but it is packed with history, a history that is share by the staff with accuracy and enthusiasm! Unlike some venues, the history shared is not a white history or a black history it is Calcasieu history so there is something for all.
“If you don't know history, it's as if you were born yesterday."
