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 shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
