In the center of Louisiana is the city of Alexandria, a bustling destination full of diverse cultures as well as rich historical landmarks. In the 18th century, Alexandria was a settlement of farmers, merchants, and traders from across the globe, resulting in varied mix of languages and cultures. That is evident to this day by enjoying the diverse range of culinary options in the city. During the Civil War, Alexandria started as a Confederate city but was taken over by the Union Army, and many war related memorials and monuments remain. If you're interested in the history of the region, don't miss out on the Bontemps African American Museum, the Kent Plantation House, or the Louisiana History Museum. If you would rather enjoy the mild climate of Louisiana and soak in the scenery that Alexandria has to offer, make your way to the Alexandria Zoological Park or go for a stroll near Masonic Drive in Downtown Alexandria. Round out your stay with a visit to the Alexandria Museum of Art and enjoy a meal of jambalaya or a crayfish boil at one of the Cajun, Creole, and Southern restaurants located on MacArthur Drive.
