During that year the Town of Columbia was designated the parish seat, a public square donated and a log jail and courthouse erected on this square. Sometimes known as the Gem of the Ouachita, vintage tales are told—some true, some not and some well you decide. The Four corners of the parish—Copenhagen to Kelly—Boeuf to Beaucoup and all points in between provide a variety of attractions sure to p

eak the curiosity and interests of diverse travelers. A drive through the parish provides a host of shops, relaxed dining,, B&Bs and outdoor recreation like no place else. The Last Hanging—Louisiana’s last ex*****on by hanging was conducted in the Courthouse. A documentary film was produced on this event and efforts are in progress to open the “hanging loft” for tours, Our major industries—Farming and Timber provide educational and entertaining tours to the passing through or overnight visitor. Always entertaining and reservations never needed are the men and their flying machines who fly through the air with the greatest of ease during seasonal dusting of corn, cotton, soybeans and timber.
