MANSFIELD STATE HISTORIC SITE HOSTS APPARITIONS: CITY OF MANSFIELD WALKING TOUR

 

 
 
Mansfield State Historic Site staff, in collaboration with the De Soto Parish Tourism Bureau, will offer a walking tour of downtown Mansfield on Saturday, June 17. Time, progress, and neglect has been the death of many historic structures in downtown Mansfield. Though gone, their roles in Mansfield’s history still linger like a spirit. The tour will focus on a few buildings and sites that had a great impact on Mansfield’s antebellum, Civil War era, and recent past. Gripping stories of Mansfield’s history will help preserve these historic places to take on a modern role, instead of being lost forever. So come celebrate Great Outdoors Month by taking part in this tour.
 
Those attending the program will meet at Mansfield State Historic Site by 10:30 a.m. then follow the Park Ranger to the designated parking area in town. This is a weather-permitting outdoor program which involves walking on concrete and pavement; dress appropriately for the weather and terrain.
 
Mansfield State Historic Site is located on State Highway 175, three miles south of Mansfield.  Program admission is $5 per person, ages 12 and under are free. General park admission is $4.00 per person ages 4-61; seniors 62 and over and children 3 and under are admitted free.  For more information, call 318.872.1474 or 888.677.6267, or visit www.LaStateParks.com.
