I spend most of my childhood on or around the Calcasieu River, we were always fishing, swimming,…read moreexploring the endless swamps that line the river or just merely navigating the river and its tributaries in our small aluminum boats. One of my earliest memory of the saltwater barrier was the first time I waited for the lock tender to open the barrier to allow me to pass through and the water elevation I wittenesse differential was more than two feet in elevation from one side of the loa and having to maneuver my small boat upstream against the current and elevation change. As I twisted the throttle on my 20 h.p. Johnson Outboard and approached the onslaught of water my heart pounded I suddenly realized my mortality,as my small boat climbed the wall of water I learned the true value of this engineering marvel for the first time and understood its importance. The Calcasieu River varies from a small fast flowing stream in the headwaters to a broad, sluggish estuary from the latitude of Lake Charles to its entrance into the gulf. Flows in the upper basin may range from a high of 180,000 cubic feet per second in the winter and spring to zero during the summer and fall. The lower portion of the river from the city of Lake Charles to the gulf is subject to tidal variation. In 1968, the USACE completed construction of the Calcasieu River Saltwater Barrier on the Calcasieu River north of the city of Lake Charles. This barrier minimized the flow of the saltwater wedge into the upper reaches of the Calcasieu River to protect agricultural water supplies. The structure consists of a lock and a flood control barrier with five adjustable gates.

We decided to do a day trip to Orange to visit the Shangri-La Botanical Gardens (see my other…read morereview) and thought we'd stop at this old home for our elderly guest. You cannot go straight to the house for a tour, you must meet at the Stark museum across the street, purchase a ticket, and then be accompanied by a tour guide to the house. The museum is free if you'd like to visit that while you are there. Once you walk over to the house you cannot bring a camera in with you. A knowledgeable and very long winded tour guide will bring you around the average sized home for about an hour describing every room in detail. It's a pretty home from the outside and I wish that was all I had seen. The long tour of the inside was boring. Our tour guide was obviously very proud of the home and the history of the house in relation to Orange, Texas, but it wasn't as interesting to out of town people. I don't think that I am being overly harsh. My 70 year old mother-in-law accompanied us; she is a huge fan of old homes and antiques. She found the tour to be too long and to focus on mundane items in the house. My suggestion... go to Orange for the day. Visit Shangri-La and stop in front of this home to see how pretty it is from the outside.

I thought it was very interesting, but I love paintings and sculptures that feature lonely landscapes and typical North American animals. This did not disappoint. The museum itself isn't so big that you're overwhelmed. In fact, an hour or two is sufficient to take in what's on display. The bookstore is also good, with lots of interesting books and a couple of comfortable chairs to sit in for a brief read through. Admission is free and parking is plentiful. So, there's every reason to enjoy this Texas gem!
