This Parish was established in 1869, and has been a largely agricultural area known for its famous Ponchatoula strawberries. The Native American name Tangipahoa means "ear of corn" or "those who pick corn" from the Acolapissa Indians who use to inhabit the area. The area also has strong ties to the French who began colonizing the New World territory and we see names like New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Maurepas, Bienville and Iberville from this time period. Fast forward to modern times and you will find a beautiful area full of history. These towns have delicious food and antiques glore, along with must-experience (and taste!) festivals. The house is nestled at a 2 minutes walk downtown Ponchatoula with Restaurants, eat and dance live entertainment, and antique shopping etc. Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival~ At this festival, you and the family can ride rides, witness the procession of the Louisiana Strawberry Queen and King, hear some awesome live music and — of course — taste some sweet berries. Kliebert's Alligator & Turtle Farm~ This unique Hammond farm operation that more than 47,000 turtles call home. There are more than 300 alligators here as well, plus a Nile crocodile named Gumbo and a 15-foot-long python named for New Orleans’ most famous Voodoo practitioner, Marie Laveau. Joyce Wildlife Management Area~ This 28,000 acres that make up this preserve encompass cypress-tupelo swamps where visitors can see nature at its most primal. Fishing and boating are year-round activities, and this preserve is also a birdwatcher’s paradise. Gnarly Barley Brewing Co. ~ Another brewery? As we say in Louisiana, “yeah, you right!” Louisiana Purchase Brewery is a newer addition to Louisiana’s ever-expanding craft beer scene, and more importantly, tasty — beers made there, Louisiana Purchase offers tours to visitors and a tasting room that’s open most days of the week. The Southern Swamps Byway~ is a driving trail that’s part of the Louisiana Trails & Byways network, which take visitors through some of the state’s less-visited parts to discover another side of the Bayou State. This one takes drivers to stops through the Manchac Swamp (home to world-famous Middendorf’s Restaurant) The Global Wildlife Center~ 4000 exotic animals on 900 acres of terrain. Hop on a guided wagon tour for a chance to see (and feed!) reticulated giraffes, zebras, red kangaroos, bison, camels and even a llama. The Tangipahoa African American Heritage Museum~ This Museum documents the contributions of African Americans through more than 20 original murals — one of the largest collections of its kind in the South — as well as art, artifacts and an exhibit specifically about African American war heroes.  To all NBA, NFL fans this is the perfect location to come stay and play.
