Your Live Original Weekend Guide to Monroe-West Monroe
It’s almost time for the 2025 LO Sister Conference, and we’re gearing up for a fantastic weekend of community, testimony, and time with sisters in Christ! Looking for things to do while here for Live Original? Here are a couple ideas to get you started!
Beyond the Conference: Where to Explore in Monroe-West Monroe
Visit the Duck Commander Museum: Head to the original Duck Commander store for a self-guided tour of the Duck Dynasty story and memorabilia. Walk through 17 galleries featuring family treasures, artifacts and pictures, set recreations, and costumes from the hit A&E show.
Shop Like Sadie: Stores and boutiques sprinkle the hometown of LO founder Sadie Robertson. Take a walk down Antique Alley and pop in the local shops, or go down to General Vintage in Downtown Monroe and shop through Bella’s hand-picked clothing collection.
Duck Dynasty Approved Bites: Your trip won’t be complete until you’ve tried one of the area’s delicious duck dishes! There are tons of ways to eat like a Robertson, from local favorite dishes like duck wraps at Restaurant Cotton, Warehouse No. 1, Parish, and Jay Pappas to duck pizza at Planter’s Gastropub and much more.
Explore Filming Locations: Tour the area and find all the places that the Duck Dynasty crew frequented in the show. Grab a quick pick-me-up at Corner Coffee & Provisions where Jep picked up the coffee after their pot broke. Head to Excalibur Family Fun Center for arcade fun and try to beat Uncle Si’s ticket and prize collection. View the full list of filming locations here.
Beyond the Beard: The Duck Commander’s home boasts a rich culture and history full of museums and attractions. Visit the Biedenharn Museum and Gardens to learn about the life and legacy of the first bottler of Coca-Cola, or head over to Chennault Aviation & Military Museum to hear the incredible story of military heroes. For the art lovers, Art Alley in Downtown Monroe and Masur Museum of Art are the perfect places to explore the works of local and regional artists.
With so much to do in the area, the LO Conference won’t be the only thing bringing you back to the Twin Cities!
