Reviews of Spring Street Historical Museum (Museum)

Chad White

This was a cool little stop. They have a small museum downstairs and a Victorian Room upstairs. Parking was our only expense. Nice stop with information about the early days of the city of Shreveport.

The Multicultural Center held its annual Christmas Around the World exhibit. The exhibition featured Christmas and different winter celebration from different parts of the world. Each culture's flag was represented. They also a small write up giving details of each celebration. My favorites were the: African and African-American exhibits, Greek, Native American, and the Asians. There was also a homage to Louisiana's Cajun culture. I would like to see the exhibition next year.

The first thing you notice about the Spring Street Historic Museum (SSHM) is the building; it is beautiful. One of the oldest buildings downtown, the former Tally's Bank was recently repainted and updated both inside and out. The building is small, but it packs in a tremendous amount of history from the founding of the area to the Yellow Fever epidemic that wiped out 25% of the population to the legal Red Light District (larger than New Orleans' Storyville district) to the Civil War shipyards that produced submarines for the Confederate Army. Shreveport started as a rough and ready Texas trail town and along the way, grew wealthy with oil and gas discoveries. There are so many things to discover and the very knowledgeable museum director is always happy to share his stories and a few treasure-hunting tips, to boot.

Clifton Mills

Called multiple times, no answer or returned call. Showed up Saturday during business hours and they were closed. Complete waste of time

Niesha Walpool

Very informative and welcoming people. The exhibits are awesome and it's easily locateable

Angela Ross

Great displays and friendly staff

Patrick Riley

This is a quaint little spot that is a must see if you come through Shreveport. It is completely free (donations accepted). The archaeologist who recovered many of the exhibits is on site to give detailed information and walk you through the museum. I had a great time here but it is small so do not plan to stay for more than an hour.

Slaybrina

Great attraction to visit with friends and family. Marty and Maria will give you a great experience. They will make you realize so many things you didn’t now about Shreveport. They love their job and it shows

IsTroy Blin

Cold, nevertheless its worth 4.5 stars, the only thing holding it back is the temperature of the building. It'll be hot, then it'll be cold, very suddenly

Rita Corpier

Small, but jammed packed with historical artifacts, photos, facts, and even an interactive, computer type game. Free admission, along with a super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff make a visit to this, the oldest building in Shreveport-Bossier, an absolute necessity. Perfect for a secondary trip like to the near by Aquarium, or before you hit up the Boardwalk. Multiple stories, old timey elevator lift available for handicapped. (But not sure entire museum could be accessed by wheelchair). My 9 year old granddaughter enjoyed this museum. Great place for a homeschooler field trip; fun, interesting, and worth while.

James Henley
