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.

If you want to steer the family away from all the hustle and bustle of the city and relax near the water, a good choice is the Charles and Marie Hamel Memorial Park. Clean, well-maintained and serene, the scenery is a nice break from all of the city's fast-paced activity and mainstream attractions. Over the park's seventeen acres, you'll find the perfect spot to have a picnic and enjoy the river view. The hours are dawn until dusk, so plan a day full of wide open spaces with the Hamel Park as your only destination.

Uncork the possibilities of a first class event at the Cork-A Red River Revel Wine Event. Enjoy a selection of over eighty wines as you take part in an epic wine tasting festival. There are also informative wine seminars, a premiere wine dinner and some soothing smooth jazz played live by local and regional musicians. It's a celebration not to be missed, so make plans to fill your glass with the incredible bouquet of wine, music and fun at Cork!
