The Historical Church Tour tells the story of strong, faith, persistence and human kindness in the midst of Jim Crow laws in the American South, that resulted in the historical first black catholic church and congregation in the river parishes.

The Slave Revolt Reenactment takes you back in time, to the fight for freedom of enslaved people in the south, which began a few miles up-river.
