Citizen ScienceCane River Creole National Historical Park is the first site in Louisiana to partner with Chronolog to engage visitors in a new citizen science project. Photo stations have been created where visitors can email photographs taken from specific sites along trails to create time lapses of historic landscapes. Photo stations are located at both Magnolia and Oakland Plantations. The Magnolia station is mounted on the footbridge from the parking area to the brick Slave/Tenant Cabins. The station at Oakland is mounted in the Pavilion near the parking area. Please help us document the historic landscapes of these special places by uploading photographs during your park visit.
