Collinswood School Museum<br />
The Collinswood School Museum actually had it’s beginning<br />
around 1876 when it was constructed specifically<br />
as a one room school<br />
house. Mr. Collins constructed<br />
the school house<br />
on his estate, approximately<br />
one mile west of Ponchatoula,<br />
to assure an education<br />
<strong>for</strong> his son. He then<br />
hired and boarded a teacher<br />
and offered educational<br />
training <strong>for</strong> other children<br />
in the area. The school operated<br />
in that fashion until<br />
around 1908. Grades 1<br />
through 6 were taught in<br />
the single room.<br />

Hammond Skate Park<br />
This is my favorite skatepark in Louisiana. Everything from the<br />
bowl to the street course, it flows really well and is<br />
just a really fun park. It was also the first park to be<br />
built in Louisiana in the modern wave of concrete<br />
skateparks. BMX technically isn’t allowed<br />
but if you show up without pegs<br />
and just hang out<br />
without your bike <strong>for</strong> a little<br />
while, you may<br />
be able to get a session in.<br />
