On Saturday, September 26th, 2026, I went to the Lincoln Parish Park Festival in the Park 2026 near Ruston (in North Louisiana).

I used to live in Dubach, Louisiana, in the early 2000’s and drove to the Downsville area a lot for work on LA 151, and have passed this old concrete structure more times than I can count. I recently went back there to document it with my camera and still don’t know what it was

There is something familiar about old country churches in Louisiana. They are all unique in their own way, but do share some similarities. What I notice most is the design, architecture, color, and feel. The era for a lot of them may be the same, too. Their stories are different. And I think that is
