Centenary State Historic Site
Centenary State Historic Site is run by the Louisiana Office of State Parks. It is a rather young site, and there is much that can still be learned and done to make it more educationally profitable. It serves not only as a glimpse into the past of Centenary College of Louisiana, but to early education in Louisiana, Civil War medicine, the foundation of Jackson, and many other areas of local and state history.

Famous quotes containing the words state, historic and/or site:
“I met a Californian who would
Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
