The USS KIDD Veterans Museum is located on the USS KIDD itself, a Fletcher-class destroyer named after war hero Isaac C. Kidd. The ship was never modernized, and it is the only destroyer from World War II to retain its original appearance.

Visitors can walk the decks of the ship, explore the many exhibits found here, and visit the Louisiana Veterans Hall of Honor, which is dedicated to the Louisiana veterans who had an outstanding or unique military career. The museum is open 7 days a week, and the space can also be booked for birthday parties, overnight stays, and other special events.
