With a rich history, friendly locals, and much to explore, Bogalusa offers a great destination for any adventure. Originating in the early 1900's, the town is known for its extensive history as a rugged mill town and is home to the once-largest lumber mill in the nation run by the Great Southern Lumber Company. The 4th of July is a festive time in the town, which hosts its annual Bogalusa Paper Queen Ball and a beautiful parade. The Louisiana Western Festival is another popular even in the city, as is the Bogalusa Blues and Heritage Festival. The town also offers great options for dining and shopping, and several of the parts provide a great place to relax or enjoy an afternoon picnic with those you love. If you want to bring Fido along, then pet friendly cabins in Louisiana are also available so the whole family can get involved.
