In Epps Louisiana you will find the oldest city in North America. Documented finding date back to 1600 b.c., over 3000 years ago. An ancient indian society settled here in Louisiana. They built mounds and a courtyard along the banks of the river. Surrounding the courtyard are six ridges where historians believe they built there huts. As you can see by one of the photos that the ancient indians were not the only people who preferred this area, Jesse James and his gang were also frequent visitors.
Thank you for sharing the pictures! Very interesting stuff there in Poverty Point.
