School Trip to Port Hudson

Hannah, Rayna and some of their friends

Last week, Hannah and Raynas school took a visit to Port Hudson where they were taught all about life in Louisiana during the civil war.  It was an open day so Martin went along and enjoyed learning all about the historic site.

There was much to see but the most popular part was probably watching the big cannons being fired.
