House Concurrent Resolution No. directs the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility of establishing a museum and trail dedicated to the Louisiana Maneuvers, which were significant military exercises conducted in Louisiana during 1940 and 1941. The study will involve consultation with the boards of the Louisiana State Museum and the National WWII Museum and will assess potential locations, estimated costs, and the incorporation of conference space within the museum. The resolution emphasizes the importance of preserving the history of the Louisiana Maneuvers to educate future generations, honor veterans, and promote tourism and economic development in the state.

The study will evaluate potential sites in central Louisiana, estimate costs for planning and operation, and analyze the requirements for affiliation with the National WWII Museum. The Department is required to submit a written report of findings and recommendations to the relevant legislative committees by March 1, 2027. This initiative aims to enhance the historical significance of the Louisiana Maneuvers and create a nationally recognized institution that can serve as a resource for education and community engagement.
