Historic City Hall Arts & Cultural Center — Attraction in Lake Charles

So let's be real. I'm from a real city with lots of amenities and museums. For Lake Charles sure this place is fine but it's nothing special on the scale of the USA. Aleast it was free to get in.

They had 3 art galleries and it looked like you could buy most of the pieces. Now there are a few very impressive pieces in the building but overall pretty lackluster.

Aa for the building itself it's preserved pretty well tho lots of fake walls to help with its current function. Also all of the rooms have no signs of what the original purpose was except a conference room that may or may not have been that before.

Overall it's nice to visit once if you're stuck in Lake Charles and have nothing else to do which is...

Two days after I visited the paintings there was a car show being held at the same time as the Charlestown Farmer's Market which was a great time! Admission is free, so there is no need to worry about funds unless you'd like to donate. Gracias and...

We had read about the refurbishment of the city hall and were intrigued by it's history. We enjoyed the JFK exhibit which was remarkable simply because many of the photos had been taken by what I presume were amateurs since the photographer was unknown. The gallery highlighting women who had served in Lake Charles' homes was a great tribute to hardworking and faithful people. It's so easy in today's society to overlook the people who are support staff in whatever realm you work or reside Lastly our visit was memorable because the woman who greeted us was warm, friendly, and very professional. Wonderful way to spend a winter...
