A full restoration and cleaning has finally been finished and Fort Jackson in Plaquemines Louisiana was re-opened to the public in January, 2011 just in time to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the great Battle of the American War Between the States at the Fort that allowed Union forces under Admiral Farragut to capture New Orleans, Louisiana.
On April 20-22, 2012 a large Battle re-enactment and varied activities are planned for this 150th Anniversary.
As a result of the restorative work, the glory of Fort Jackson lives again and one of America's greatest landmarks is preserved for posterity. Come and visit us for the 150th Anniversary of one of the greatest and most important Battles in American History on April 20-22, 2012.
Fort Jackson is on Louisiana SH-23 approximately 70 miles south of New Orleans on the west bank of the Mississippi River. The park is open year-round during daylight. The museum and gift shop are open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily.
