the red light house

 

The Red Light House, also known as the Southwest Reef Lighthouse on the Atchafalaya River across from Morgan City, was built in 1856 and its service was discontinued in 1917.  It sat in rust until 1987 when the town of Berwick moved it 25 miles and located in a park.  I always look for lighthouses but didn't expect to find one in Louisiana. (And I got to drive across the Long-Allen Bridge of 1933, once the major crossing along the Old Spanish Trail).
