Louisiana Churches
St. Jospeh
Nestled in a nearly forgotten corner of rural Louisiana stands a testament to time, faith, and nature's reclaiming touch.
Wilson Memorial
The Cottonwood Church was first built around 1880 on land bought from the Clarks. The cemetery is still located in that area. A new larger church was built in 1905 and the original church taken own. Services were held once a month in those days. We don’t have details of the early days because the church records were burned in a fire in 1925.
East Carrol
East Carroll Parish is a parish located in the Mississippi Delta in northeastern Louisiana, part of what was called the Natchez District of cotton parishes. As of the 2010 census, the population was 7,759. The parish seat is Lake Providence An area of cotton plantations in the antebellum era, the parish in the early 21st century has about 74% of its land devoted to agriculture.
Ascension Parish Negro Fairgrounds
I've had this church on my list for awhile & it is still locked up, so no inside shots. I wasn't aware right next door were fairgrounds established as the Ascension Parish Negro Fairgrounds. There isn't much left & I shot the only standing building left. There was a bit of a playground with some people on it so I didn't shoot it. Established in 1950, some citizens established the place to encourage farming in the community. Here's a link to one of the only web sites about the place. ~ https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=85750
