Old Ambroise Sompayrac House
Natchitoches chief depot for trade with Mexico, early 1800’s Washington St. at Pavie on River ... demolished in 1900.
If one must in a few words offer a summation of all that has passed before.... Then.
This tiny spot, in Louisiana’s vast domain,
High on a hill-top, a memory to remain.
Redbuds and Dogwood, bring spring’s tender smile,
To a land so fertile, it rivals that of the Nile.
Yonder, the Red’s mighty currents roll.
Gleaming, sparkling, rivaling Hidalgo’s Gold.
In a grove, where the stately Pine trees tower,
Blending with the Oak, the Ash and wild Flower,
