The new downtown addition will have decor, gifts, seasons, books, remedies, and more. From vendors like: Louisiana Creole Pecan Candy, Raynel Gifts & More, The Natural Way, and Weeziana Girl.

According to their Facebook, they "celebrate early Louisiana history and enhance its people by the preservation of the area's cultural ties."
