If your schedules and other commitments keep you and your main squeeze from leaving town for a romantic trip, why not journey to the Fairfield Bed and Breakfast? The two of you will be pampered by the king size European beds, fireplaces and whirlpool tubs - elements that make it easy to lose the week's stress and allow the two of you to get close without any interruptions. Fairfield's two adjoining homes were built around 1870 and feature a 1-acre green garden oasis, a perfect venue for you and your honey to take a walk through after you arrive in the evening or just before breakfast in the morning.

The expanse of the 200-acre Oxbow Lake at the C. Bickham Dickson Park is the first clue that the natural allure of the water and all of its outdoor surroundings will create a picturesque moment that you will look back on with a smile. This amazing 585-acre park is the largest in Shreveport.

Great rides, an excellent place for parties, and a surprisingly delicious menu all make Splash Kingdom Water Town the place for lots of great family fun and water recreation. And even though the older kids will enjoy the bigger slides, the younger members of the family will enjoy the wading pools and play areas.

Before there was the internet or computers of any kind, photos and manuscripts joined disciplined engineering practice and mathematics to aid in construction plans for important city buildings. The documented preliminary work that went into the planning and execution of these projects is housed at the Karpeles Manuscript Library. It's not only a history lesson, but a testament to our forefathers' ingenuity and perseverance to establish the landmarks that serve as anchors of Shreveport's history.
