Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

This Greek Revival building was first used as a mint in 1838 and produced money for the Federal government until 1909. Throughout its existence it has served many purposes, including minting money and housing soldiers for the Confederate Government during the Civil War. Today it is home to jazz and Mardi Gras exhibits as well as important historical archives. The mint also houses two gift shops, the Coin Vault and Louisiana Music Factory, which sell unique items to remember your visit by.

Admission is USD 5 for adults, USD 4 for senior citizens, military, and students and children under 12 are free.
