N ew Orleans' most prominent heritage attraction is the State Museum, a complex of national landmarks housing thousands of artifacts and works of art reflecting Louisiana's legacy of historic events and cultural diversity. The Museum operates five properties in the famous French Quarter: the Cabildo, Presbytere, 1850 House, Old U.S. Mint and Madame John's Legacy. It also maintains the Wedell-Williams Memorial Aviation Museum in Patterson,the Old Courthouse in Natchitoches, and the E.D. White Historic Site in Labadieville.
The Louisiana State Museum has partnered with the LSU Digital Library to produce a digital collection of more than 1,800 photographs of Louisiana cities, culture, people, landscape, and waterways. These historical photographs date from mid 1800 to early 1900 and were taken by many of the well known photographers of the day, including: Theodore Lillenthal, George Francois Mugnier, Samuel T. Blessing, Grant Rowles, John N. Teunisson, Covert, Robert Tebbs, Frances Benjamine Johnston, Theodore Fonville Winans, Joseph Woodson "Pops" Whitesell and Achille Simon.
