Visiting the Duck Commander Warehouse in Monroe

April 13, 2015 By Caroline Eubanks Leave a Comment

The Robertson Family of Monroe, Louisiana forever changed the small town when they became the stars of A&E’s hit show,  Duck Dynasty . It follows the family business of making duck calls and other outdoor products. Viewers love the bearded men and their antics and catchphrases that come from Willie, Uncle Si, Phil, Miss Kay, and the whole gang.

It has even spawned  Duck Dynasty tours of Monroe. Visitors from all over the world come to their warehouse, where you can buy souvenirs and hope to see one of the family members. I was able to look around the warehouse and see their offices, as they weren’t shooting and most of the family wasn’t in town, visitors will have to be content with scouting out the gift shop, where you can buy the Duck Commander calls in all price ranges, as well as t-shirts, books and everything else they’ve put their name on.

Superfans who aren’t lucky enough to spot the gang can grab a map from in front of the warehouse or the Monroe-West Monroe Visitor’s Center that denotes landmarks seen on the show. This includes restaurants like Haskell’s Donuts and Debbie’s Snowballs. The page on the visitor’s center website allows you to research them in advance and references which episode it was seen in.

Tips for Visiting Duck Commander

The  Duck Commander  Warehouse is located at 117 Kings Lane, West Monroe , Louisiana 71292. The store is open Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm. It is five hours drive north from New Orleans . The Monroe-West Monroe Convention and Visitors Bureau is the best place to start your journey.

While you’re in the area , be sure to check out attractions like The Biedenharn Museum & Gardens , with its exhibits on Coke memorabilia and historic bibles, and the free-to-visit Masur Museum of Art .

When you get hungry, Warehouse No. 1 is a waterfront restaurant with shrimp and grits, fried oysters, and catfish.  The Fat Pelican has Southern dishes like New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp, fried chicken, and burgers.

My visit to the Duck Commander Warehouse was coordinated by Louisiana Travel and the Monroe-West Monroe Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.

New museum follows the 'Duck Dynasty' journey

"Duck Dynasty" fans can now follow the stars from patriarch Phil Robertson's humble log cabin beginning to the super stardom of the beloved reality TV show in a new interactive museum at the family's company headquarters in Louisiana.

"Duck Commander The Tour," a 13-room, 15,000-square foot museum, features props from the show, video panels of the stars and a foggy cypress bottom that feels more like a Louisiana swamp than an air-conditioned museum.

"It's been exciting even for the family to walk through because it takes our story from the beginning to today," said Willie Robertson, chief executive of the family's Duck Commander and Buck Commander companies.

"While we're talking now I'm looking at things and remembering when we did them or what show a prop came from," Robertson said. "When you're in the heat of it you miss a lot of things."

The tour was developed and staged by Maureen Daly and her sons. Daly's previous work includes traveling costume exhibits, including one staged for Disney,

"We really wanted fans to be able to experience the total journey of the family from their beginnings to their stardom, which includes their (Christian) faith journey," Daly said. "People become very engaged in the story as they move through the tour.

"It's an amazing story of how a single duck call led to this enterprise and how it went viral. As I learned more about them I was surprised about how broad their brand has become. Sometimes even their fans are surprised by the depth of their story."

Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, Louisiana's chief tourism officer, said he plans to take the tour this week. The museum opened July 1.

"I'm excited to see it because we were all just talking about the need for a permanent attraction in northern Louisiana," Nungesser said. "I'm looking forward to promoting it here within the state and in our marketing campaigns outside the state."

Visitors are greeted by a large Duck Commander The Tour mural created by Andrea Ehrhardt, the artist famous for her murals at the Bass Pro Shops.

Inside, Willie's duck print-covered BMW looks ready to hit the road.

From there fans enter the museum itself, beginning with Phil's log cabin in Vivian, Louisiana, for a chronological tour of the family's story.

Along the way fans even get to make a duck call in one of exhibit rooms.

Doug Rorech, the museum director and Daly's son, said "Duck Dynasty" fans have a deep connection with the Robertsons even though most have never met them.

"Fans drop off gifts for them and ask if we can get them to the family," Rorech said. "It's really incredible."

Those who were lucky enough to be surprised when Willie joined them on the tour illustrated Rorech's point.

They flocked to Willie for photos and selfies, many emphasizing their appreciation for the Robertsons' open portrayal of their Christian faith in the TV shows and other avenues.

Eric Gustafson, who was visiting the Duck Commander tour from Texas with his wife Chelsey and their two sons Parker and Preston, just wanted to shake Willie's hand.

"I love what you've done and what you stand for," Gustafson said.

"People come here as families," Willie said. "That's one of the things we emphasized from the start; we always wanted a show the whole family could watch."

The Christian theme continues throughout the exhibit rooms, including a video of the family gathered at the dinner table and offering a prayer of thanks.

It was a standard on the TV show that Daly wanted to continue on the tour.

"This is what drew me to the project; their faith and their ability to convey it," Daly said.

"Duck Dynasty" lives on in reruns on the Outdoor Channel, while new episodes of hunting shows hosted by Phil and Willie also air.

Willie said fans often ask him whether there will ever be a "Duck Dynasty" reunion.

"It's not in he works now, but you never know," he said. "I wouldn't rule it out."

Duck Commander The Tour is open from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays and noon-5 p.m. Sundays at the Duck Commander headquarters at 117 Kings Lane in West Monroe. Cost is $21.95 for adults and $12.95 for children ages 6-12. Children younger than 6 are admitted free and there are various discounts offered.

Monroe-West Monroe

If you’re a Duck Dynasty fan, start your stay here by following the Duck Commander Hometown Tour to visit locations featured on the show. Then stop by Duck Commander The Tour , a 10,000-square-foot museum featuring Duck Commander and Duck Dynasty memorabilia.

Although the Robertsons are well known today, they aren’t Monroe-West Monroe’s only prominent citizens. After all, Monroe was home to Joseph Biedenharn, the first bottler of Coca-Cola. Get a taste of the history of one of the world’s most popular soft drinks at the Biedenharn Museum & Gardens , where you can check out vintage Coca-Cola memorabilia, tour the beautifully furnished home and garden, and admire a stunning collection of historical of Bibles. For some World War II history, fly on over to the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum . Named after General Claire Chennault, commander of the Flying Tigers, the museum’s displays of artifacts and aircraft tell the story of the war, those who served, and even the founding of Delta Airlines.

While its museums leave plenty to discover, there’s plenty to see and do outdoors as well. After all, Monroe and West Monroe reside within Louisiana’s Sportsman’s Paradise, a region rich with wildlife that you can see in its bayous, hardwood forests, and grassland prairies. The best place to immerse yourself in its many natural wonders is the Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge . Covering 5,300 acres just north of Monroe, the refuge is just the place to go when you want to spend the day canoeing among bald cypress and tupelo trees or trying your luck at hooking a largemouth bass or a bluegill.

Along with its breathtaking outdoors, Monroe-West Monroe is also a top destination for shoppers. Take your time to uncover unique finds in West Monroe’s Antique Alley, where you’ll come across local boutiques and shops selling everything from antiques and art to home décor and the latest in fashion. Meanwhile, Downtown Monroe is a hotspot for the arts. Make sure you’re here for The Crawl, the best opportunity to see the works of local artists in numerous galleries.

Follow that up with a glass of wine at the award-winning Landry Vineyards, a pint of delicious craft beer at Flying Tiger Brewery or Ouachita Brewing Company , or some honey wine at Two Warriors Meadery .

Whether you’re in search of an escape to the outdoors or a getaway full of great food and even better shopping, you’ll find your ideal vacation in Monroe-West Monroe. Plan your visit here.
