Abandoned St. Mary's church- built in 1854

And what would a trip to Louisiana be without some pictures of live oaks.

I was wrong on the date of the church. See the following link.

If I have time I will try to get a closer look at the church.

You got down in the neck of the woods where I am now. But I have never yet gotten over to Baton Rouge.

Long time, no post Watcher. What are you up to theses days?
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.
