Gillis Long Center
The site where the Gillis W. Long Center is located was once the home of a sugar cane plantation called Indian Camp, named for General Camp, a War of 1812 Veteran who first owned this land. The centerpiece of the plantation was the main house, built in the 1850s by the same architect who built the historical Nottoway Plantation in White Castle, Henry Howard. The mansion was called “Woodlawn”. This magnificent work is the first sight you see when entering the main gates of the Gillis W. Long Center.
The GWLC is one of seven Louisiana National Guard Installations. It is responsible for providing operational and training support and resources in support of the units of the Louisiana National Guard. The facility is the home to several LANG units and elements of the Joint Staff..
