Established in the summer of 1861 and completely destroyed by Union forces in the fall of 1864, Camp Moore enjoyed a short, though colorful history. After its establishment it became one of the largest Confederate training bases in the southern states, while also serving as a principal base of operation in eastern Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi. Four efforts were made to destroy Camp Moore during the course of the war, finally resulting in the destruction of the Camp and the scattering of its forces in the fall of 1864. The 6.2-acre site also offers a walking tour. Membership in the Camp Moore Conservancy is available for those interested in supporting the preservation and maintenance of the site.
Membership includes free access to the museum.
