Old Town Hall Museum of Pineville

Pineville, Louisiana is home to a "one of a kind" museum called the Old Town Hall Museum. It is the only museum in the entire state of Louisiana dedicated to municipal government.

Located on Main Street in Pineville, the Old Town Hall Museum was once home to all of Pineville's city offices, including the fire station, city court, jail, library, mayor's office, judge's chambers, police department and utilities office. In addition, the court room served as a public library and Driver's License Bureau when court was not in session.

The Old Town Hall Museum was originally built in 1931. It has been faithfully restored to its circa 1935 appearance. Group tours are available and the museum is open 8:00-12:00 every day and by appointment. Admission is free. For more information, call 318-449-5690.

Note: This is an excellent tour for anyone to take, especially a civic organization, school, or history buff. Upon visiting the museum personally, I was amazed at the many hundreds of pieces in their collection. I am told the collection is growing daily. Along with gear and uniforms, you will also find tons of old photographs donated in most part by the families of veterans. It was a most enjoyable experience and I would recommend anyone take a few minutes and gain some insight into the history of our great nation. A special thanks to Captain Bradford and his assistant, along with the entire Louisiana National Guard.
