The Gretna Historical Society welcomes you to its Museum Complex of historic buildings, blacksmith shop, guided tours and gift shop, in the midst of one of the nation’s largest National Register Historic Districts. Gretna, Louisiana, an old German town, is replete with shot-gun houses (singles and doubles), camel back houses and Creole cottages. And it’s all across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.
