LOCATION AND DIRECTIONS

ABOUT OUR LOCATION
Jackson received its present name in 1816 in honor of Andrew Jackson, the recent victor over the British in the battle of New Orleans, who passed through on his way home after the battle. The town has over 120 historic buildings, many relating to its early importance as a center of higher education, a banking center and the original seat of government for the Felicianas, and since the 1840s the site of the East Louisiana State Hospital.


DIRECTIONS: HOW TO GET TO THE TRAINS FROM BATON ROUGE!

Our club is located at the REPUBLIC OF WEST FLORIDA HISTORICAL MUSEUM, 3406 College St, Jackson, LA 70748. We are on the hill above the train station. Look for the blinking railroad crossing signal and the outdoor garden railroad display.

From Baton Rouge, take I-110 north to U.S. 61 (exit 8C). Travel north on U.S. 61 for 12 miles, turn right on Highway 68 (There is a Mobil Gas Station at the turn off). Travel east for 11.5 miles, turn left on Highway 10 at the traffic light. Travel two miles into Jackson, turn right on College St. The museum is 2 blocks north on the right.
