Take a trip back in time
with us to see what life was like when Shreveport was young. The Spring
Street Historical Museum's building was constructed in the 1860s as Tally's
Bank and is one of the oldest remaining buildings in downtown Shreveport.
The building retains one of Northwest Louisiana's few remaining examples of
New Orleans-style cast-iron gallery grillwork. The original bank vault and
door are located on the ground floor. Since 1976, the building has been
owned and operated by the Shreveport Committee of the National Society of
Colonial Dames in Louisiana who oversaw its restoration and placement on the
National Register of Historic Places. The Spring Street Historical Museum
currently operates under the Secretary of State's Museum Program.
From I-20, take the Spring Street exit (#16A.) The museum is on the right side of Spring Street and immediately north of Milam Street.
The Spring Street Museum has two front steps and no
ramp.
There is an interior elevator to access the second floor.
This website is brought to you by the Friends of the Spring Street Museum.
