Baton Rouge, LA – The Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation (LTHP) announces its Fall Ramble tour set for Saturday, October 3, 2026 in Many and Sabine Parish.
Held in the Spring and Fall, the self-guided tour allows participants to discover historic sites of architectural and cultural significance in communities across the state. This tour will feature over a dozen historic sites in Many and Sabine Parish, including the restoration of Sabine High School—a 2020 Louisiana’s Most Endangered Place—along with a collection of sacred spaces, a mid-mod residence, and the Stoker House, dating to 1848.
Brian Davis, LTHP Executive Director, says “Our Ramble tours are a great way to experience
historic sites in parts of the state that you may have only heard of before. Tours are casual and often
have a few properties that are not typically open for the public to visit. We find that after
attending a Ramble, folks often revisit the towns, shops, and restaurants they see while in the area.”
The tour includes visits to the Village of Fisher (c. 1900); St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (c. 1922); & Fort Jesup State Park (c. 1822). Lunch is included and will be served at the Sabine Theatre.
Participants will meet at the Village of Fisher Opera House (679 4 L Drive | Fisher, LA 71426) for check in at 9:30 AM and a brief introduction to the day where they’ll receive an informational booklet, including the day’s schedule and details about each site. Registration includes admission to the sites as well as a boxed lunch when registered by the deadline of September 28; registration closes October 2 at 2:00 PM. Admission is $50 for LTHP members, $65 for potential members, and $25 for students and teachers. Proceeds from the tour help support Louisiana Trust programming to advocate for, promote, and preserve historic places in all 64 parishes.
