Creole Nature Trail
Brimstone Historical Museum and Tourist Information Center, LA

This museum was established in 1976 to commemorate the development of the Frasch process of mining, which launched the American sulfur industry. Exhibits include a one-ton block of sulfur, display of the Frasch process and a short color movie explaining it and its importance to the industry. Other permanent exhibits include a diorama of Southwest Louisiana wildlife, a collection of antique medical instruments, photos of the community during its sulfur-mining days and other memorabilia of the period.

The museum itself is housed in the old depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which was moved from Frasch Park to its current location, 900 South Huntington, in early 2003.

Contact the museum at 337-527-0357 for more information.
