Mansfield State Historic Site Location: In DeSoto Parish, 4 miles south of the town of Mansfield on LA 175. Facilities: Museum, outdoor exhibits, interpretive trails, visitor center, craft shop, restrooms, picnic area. Activities: Guided tours, living history demonstrations, interpretive programs. Special Features: Site commemorates the most important battle of the Civil War fought west of the Mississippi, and the museum's impressive collection includes Civil War weapons, arms, uniforms, letters, diaries, documents, and other related artifacts. The Confederate victory here prevented complete Union control of Louisiana and the progression of the war into Texas -- and may have prolonged the war by several months. In 1973 the site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
