The J. Bennett Johnston Waterway Visitor Center in Shreveport, LA - A 5-Minute Trip from Interstate 20

 

The J. Bennett Johnston Waterway Visitor Center in Shreveport, Louisiana is a place you need to visit when you are traveling along Interstate-20 from Dallas-Fort Worth to Jackson, Mississippi; Birmingham Alabama; Atlanta, Georgia or Columbia, South Carolina.

We became interested in visiting the visitor center a few months ago when we visited the area a few months prior and we saw the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sign posted outside. We had to stop to see what awaited us inside.

The I-20 Stop: The J. Bennett Johnston Waterway Visitor Center in Shreveport

This visitor’s center is an amazing opportunity to learn about the history and the future of the Red River which runs through the following states: Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and New Mexico. The visitor’s center features a reception area, theater with a great film about the Red River, exhibition hall, and interactive exhibits.

For the children, it is a great combination of science and social studies. For parents and adults, it is a great reminder about the importance of rivers such as the Red River and how impacts the east Texas and western Louisiana areas.
