About Shreveport
Shreveport is also known regionally as agamblingcenter, due to the number of casinos and racetracks that operate in the area. Despite the fact that Shreveport has a reputation for gaming, there are multiple opportunities for arts, culture, and learning in the city, with a collection of museums, art galleries, symphonies, colleges and universities, in addition to several fine dining opportunities that bring a mix of regional and international cuisine to Louisiana's third-largest city. One thing that often goes unnoticed is that Shreveport was the capital of Louisiana during the Civil War from 1863-1865.
