Once a Choctaw Indian village, this community near New Orleans is now widely recognized for its attractive historic district. Visitors and locals enjoy shaded sidewalks, friendly restaurants, beautiful gardens, art galleries, country stores, and a quaint folk art museum. Bike riders, walkers, joggers, skaters, and horseback riders make use of the popular Tammany Trace that passes through the center of this small town.
The Indians traded with the settlers and helped them establish their settlement. They showed the newcomers how to structure a dependable bow; how to convert local timbers into cured planks; how to par and pitch log cabins; and how to use herbs and plants for healing purposes.
The town is most famous for the Spring Water it produces.
