Along the way visitor will learn about the great fire of 1910, and the modern safeguards put into place to conserve our historical structures for future disasters.

Now depending on the group and their speed (this is not a race BTW), the walking tour can last anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. The tour will begin once everyone has gathered on the first floor of Historic City Hall.



Don't Forget to "Dress for the Weather" this is in January and might be a little chilly. And don't forget to wear your comfy shoes. Make a day of it and come early and visit the Imperial Calcasieu Museum earlier that day to learn even more about the History of Lake Charles.

So step downtown and learn all the rich history of SWLA.

TRAFFIC NIGHTMARES: Top 5 Lake Charles & SWLA Streets to Avoid

You know the ones we are talking about. The streets where it seems like the traffic never stops. The ones that take you 10 minutes or more to pull out of a business to merge onto the street without getting run over, or where it seems that a thousand cars are coming down the road, and you feel like you will never be able to pull out.
