Jackson Barracks, Military headquarters in Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, United States.
Jackson Barracks spans across a complex that includes command centers, barracks, a museum, and training facilities for the Louisiana National Guard.
The facility began as New Orleans Barracks in 1834, receiving its current name in 1866 to honor President Andrew Jackson's military contributions.
The Ansel M. Stroud Jr. Military History & Weapons Museum within the complex presents exhibits documenting Louisiana's military involvement through generations.
The base provides year-round lodging for Department of Defense identification card holders and maintains a fitness center operating from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the facility underwent complete flooding, leading to a $325 million reconstruction project that modernized the entire complex.
