Washington Parish Fair October 16th-20th
The Varnado Store Museum building has for all its one-hundred years been a general merchandise store. It was built around the time the railroad came to the area in 1906 and was owned by Daniel C Sheridan, a timber dealer, real estate agent, town alderman and bank director. The first proprietor was W.C. Lonnergan and the sign bearing his name is still in the museum. Other owners through the years included Mr. and Mrs. Burris. The D.A. Varnado family purchased the store in 1920 and the family ran it until it closed in the mid-1980's. The museum is on the National Register of Historic Places.
At The Museum at Bogalusa, we aspire to be more than simply a collection of unique objects. We are devoted to creating a living, interactive learning experience through events and exhibitions. Our carefully curated private collection attempts to impart our knowledge and ideas, and instills excitement for our community and imagination in our visitors. We offer discounts for our members, as well as for students and couples. We hope you’ll come visit us soon — we promise you’ll learn something new.
