Most Endangered Places Update

Two of the Lousiana's Most Endnagered Places are in the process of rehabilitation! The Lousiana History Museum in Alexandria is working to purchase and renovate the Shiloh Baptist Church.  Check out this recent article or donate to the cause here. 

Alto Presbyterian Church in Richland Parish has removed and stored the original flooring while the foundation and other structural elements are being repaired. Years of water damage left most of the wood foundation sitting on the soil.  Your donations will put the original wood floor back in place once the repairs are made, so the building may be used again.
