Historic Sites Along the El Camino Trail
El Camino Real
Designated as a National Historic
Trail in 2004, El Camino Real de los
Tejas (Hwy 6 in Louisiana and Hwy
21 in Texas) has existed for more
than 300 years. El Camino Real
has its easternmost beginning in
Natchitoches, Louisiana and runs
from piney woods through rolling
hills to the arid lands of Old Mexico.
The Spaniards and the French that
marked the trail were followed by
such men as Moses Austin and his
son Stephen Fuller Austin (The
Father of Texas), Jim Bowie, Davy
Crockett, Sam Houston and early
missionaries of multiple faiths. An
abundance of historic sites await the
modern day traveler of El Camino
Real that include Ft. Jesup, Los
Adaes, and Ft. St. Jean Baptiste.
Fort Sites
Ft. Jesup is located six miles east of Many.
The site was selected by Zachary Taylor in 1822.
It existed for 26 years as one of the strongest
garrisons in Louisiana. The fort was once a large
complex of 82 structures. This site features the
original kitchen/mess building, officers’ quarters,
a gift shop and interpretive exhibits. Facilities
also include a museum and picnic area.
Ft. St. Jean Baptiste is located on the
banks of the Cane River in Natchitoches. The
original Fort was built in 1716 to prevent Spanish
forces in the province of Texas from advancing
across the border of French Louisiana.
Los Adaes is located east of Robeline in
Natchitoches Parish. Los Adaes dates back to
the early 1700s when a Franciscan missionary
from New Spain urged the French governor of
Louisiana to establish a
post near east Texas. In
1729, Spain designated
Los Adaes the capital of
the province of Texas.
St. John the Baptist
Catholic Church
The first resident priest
selected the highest spot
in Many as the building
site of St. John the Baptist
Catholic Church in 1871.
The original Church
burned in 1922, was
rebuilt and later
remodeled, retaining
the original Spanish
architecture.

Country is the town of Many, Louisiana.
Many (pronounced “Manee”) offers rich
history, diverse culture, and a booming
economy. The town, founded in 1843 and
named for Colonel John B. Many, offers the
modern conveniences of a large city while
retaining the charm and safety of a small
southern town. The shopping hub of
Sabine Parish, Many offers businesses,
shops, and restaurants. The nearby
Hart Memorial Airport has been renovated
to include a new, up-to-date terminal,
new security features, and a newly overlaid,
extended runway. Many is proud of its
churches and dedicated congregations
Sunshine Kids

or visit www.townofmany.com.
35
Zwolle
Zwolle, Louisiana, population about 1,800, has
a unique and colorful heritage.
The early influence of Native Americans as well
as African-American, French and Spanish settlers
is reflected in the local culture.
Located on U.S. Highway 171 near the center
of Sabine Parish, Zwolle (pronounced Zwa’-lee)
is a small town that hosts three big Louisiana
festivals each year. The Choctaw Apache Indian
Pow-wow is held the first week in May. The Zwolle
Tamale Fiesta is held the second weekend in
October and the Zwolle Loggers and Forestry
Festival is held the second weekend in May.
Zwolle’s proximity to Toledo Bend Lake makes
it an ideal stop for fisherman and water sports
enthusiasts. Abundant woods and forests nearby
make it equally attractive to hunters.
No visit to Zwolle would be complete without a
sampling of its famous Zwolle TAMALES—the best
that can be found anywhere.

Historical Opera House - Fisher
Fisher
Florien
The picturesque
sawmill Village of
Fisher still reflects
the nostalgic past of
a by-gone era and
gives visitors the
feeling of stepping back in time. Built in
1889 by Louisiana Longleaf Lumber
Company, the Company owned the entire
Village. The Company buildings that survive
today are some of the finest examples to be
found of the lumber industries own
handiwork. The Village is on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Located 6 miles south of Many, Louisiana
on US Highway 171.
Florien is a small town about ten
miles south of Many. Three popular
attractions are the Corley Log Cabin,
the Dover House, and the Tree Chair.
The Corley cabin is a two-story house
built of hand hewn long leaf pine logs.
The house was built in 1859 and is
believed to be the oldest residential
structure in the area.
Dover House was built soon after
World War I and indicates the area’s
rich timber history. The Tree Chair is
one of Florien’s most unique landmarks
– a metal porch chair that was left leaning
against a small oak tree and has become,
over time, engulfed by the tree.
37
Pleasant Hill
Pleasant Hill is well known to
Civil War buffs due to its prominence
in the war. It was the site of the last
Confederate victory. Each April, a
re-enactment of the Battle of Pleasant
Hill is staged, with thousands of visitors
flocking to the site to relive a piece of
Louisiana history.
Converse
Converse is the northern most town
of Sabine Parish. The oil boom in the
1920’s made Converse, a railroad town,
the trading and shopping center of the
38
area. The 1920’s oil bust, closely followed
by the Depression took its toll, however.
Today, the Converse community spirit
has prevailed and visitors find it a small
town with big heart.
Ebarb
Visitors to Ebarb will notice the
multicultural flavor that has thrived
in the town since being settled by the
French and Spanish. The combination
of European and Indian ancestry makes
Ebarb rich in culture, history and folklore.
The Choctaw-Apache Tribe of Ebarb is the
second largest in the state.
