Natchitoches’ Fort St. Jean Baptiste hosted a cleanup event in conjunction with Louisiana’s “Love the Boot” week Saturday, April 20. Community volunteers joined the fort’s staff in picking up litter in the streets adjacent to the fort.
Fort St. Jean Baptiste is a replica of a colonial era French fort that was built in 1979 near the original site. The replica was built using plans from the era and used many historic building methods. The fort’s staff are extremely knowledgeable about our area’s history. More importantly, they all share an enthusiasm for sharing their knowledge with visitors.
