“Centerpieces of this center are Caspiana House, built at Caspiana, La, in 1856, and the Thrasher Cabin, a rural Caddo Parish “dogtrot” log cabin, built C.1835. Caspiana house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, the Thrasher Cabin was listed in 1987.”
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.
