This marker was put in place a “Historic Sites Signs Projects”
by joint efforts between the City of Shreveport, Bossier City,
Caddo Parish, & Bossier Parish, which began in 1995 and ran for
12 years. The Highland Area Partnership of Shreveport spearheaded
the effort in the first place. Bob Marak designed the signs, the
Shreveport City sign shop produced them, Eric J. Brock (historian
in Shreveport) wrote the texts. This marker program was sponsored
by the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau and was
coordinated by Eric J. Brock, local historian, and Robert J Marak
The project included many historic sites already marked by the
state of Louisiana and resulted in 142 markers placed in the
Shreveport-Bossier area.
