Yet another post that is better late than never...
A few weekends ago, David and I went to Natchitoches for the weekend to celebrate our 8 year anniversary. It was a nice, relaxing getaway. Here are some highlights:
We tourned Oakland Plantation, a Creole cottage built in late 1700s.
We also tourned Melrose Plantation, which I remember visiting back in elementary school. This plantation was built in the mid to late 1800s. The famous primitive artist, Clementine Hunter, lived and painted here.
Natchitoches is the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase (1714). They had the downtown riverfront area all decorated for fall- I loved it!
Our bed and breakfast, the Andrew Morris House, was beautiful! I believe the house was originally built in 1855.
We went to Fort St. Jean Baptiste, a historic fort and trading/guard post on the banks of the Cane River.
