Madisonville Civil War Earthworks
Madisonville, LA
After Union forces captured Madisonville, soldiers "on fatigue duty" dug these fortifications between January and March 1864 to guard the town against Confederate raids from the countryside. The line was a trench fronted by an abatis — a barrier of felled trees with sharpened points aimed outward — running westward across town. The Union held Madisonville to draw off its timber, lumber, turpentine, tar, and bricks for the Department of the Gulf.
Ponchatoula Depot
Ponchatoula, LA
Ponchatoula's first depot went up about 1854 for the New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern Railroad, later part of the Illinois Central. Union forces burned it when they captured the town in March 1863, and it was rebuilt around 1865. The present depot dates to 1894, remodeled in the 1920s, and was placed by the state tourism department in 1982.
Camp Parapet
Jefferson Parish, LA
In 1862 Confederate and Louisiana authorities laid out Camp Parapet as part of the northern defenses of New Orleans, expecting an attack from upriver. Instead the city fell to a Union fleet coming up from the Gulf, and the fortifications passed into Federal hands, serving as a Northern training camp for the rest of the war.
Colonel Short's Villa
New Orleans, LA
Built in 1859 for the Kentucky commission merchant Robert H. Short and designed by noted architect Henry Howard, this New Orleans mansion is famous for its cast-iron cornstalk-and-morning-glory fence. During the Federal occupation the house was seized as Rebel property; in 1864 it briefly served as the residence of Louisiana's Union governor Michael Hahn and then of Major General Nathaniel P. Banks. It was returned to Short after the war, and he lived there until his death in 1890.
