Located inside the old Town Hall & Marshall's Office, on the second floor of the building is the home of the Slidell's Mardi Gras Museum, which houses a collection of over 800 pieces of Carnival memorabilia-dresses, costumes, scepters, goblets and throws, and historical scrapbooks of past kings and queens. This is an excellent place to visit with out-of-town guests who may not have had the opportunity to experience Mardi Gras first hand.
Also, while you are there inside the old Town Hall & Marshall's Office, go back dowjn to the first floor and visit the Slidell Museum displays of photographs, collections, and memorabilia on the history of Slidell. The friendly and helpful museum staff love to share the interesting stories reflecting Slidell's rich history and heritage.
Tours of both museums are educational and entertaining drawing visitors from all over; including many international visitors. This a fantastic way to spend some quality time with family and friends, or just a quiet afternoon in a relaxing atmosphere.
