Dear Friend:

State Seal of Louisiana

Welcome to Louisiana's historic Mississippi River Road region and
the delightful Florida Parishes. Here you will find some of our state's
greatest architectural treasures: from great plantation houses that
speak of a bygone era to piney woods log cabins that represent our
hardy pioneer heritage. When you visit us, you can enjoy strolling
through historic Main Street towns such as Plaquemine, Hammond, Ponchatoula,
Amite, Covington, and Donaldsonville. At the heart of each of these
fascinating communities is a downtown historic district listed in
the prestigious National Register of Historic Places.
You can enjoy our working agricultural landscapes - green fields
of sugarcane. You can marvel at the majesty of the mighty Mississippi
River. And you can partake of our rich and unique culture and cuisine.
After your virtual tour of the River Road/Florida Parishes Region
on the Internet, I would like to invite you to come and visit us in
person. You will find wonderful places to stay and great places to
stop. We'd love to have you.
Sincerely

Kathleen Babineaux Blanco
Governor, State of Louisiana
