Franklin Louisiana

My three brothers and three sisters all got together in Franklin, Louisiana for a mini-family reunion. Franklin is a town that was built around sugar plantations. There are plenty of old mansions that were built from that sugar money.

We stayed at the Fairfax House:

which was built in 1854, and recently converted to a Bed and Breakfast. It was quite nice.


Here we all are: Matt Mark, Jeannette, Me (Dan - in the back), Mel, Abbie, Chas


This is Oaklawn Manor - the former Governor of Louisiana lives there now, but it is open for tours.


Here we are taking a self portrait with the Bayou Teche (and my brother Matthew) in the background.
