The Louisiana Northshore Quilt Trail (the first and only in the state) is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! There are 138 painted blocks outdoors throughout the 5 Northshore parishes. You can hop in your car and see them all. Maps are available at Tourist Centers.

Ponchatoula has 54 blocks of those 138, and this one will be number 139. It will be located at the new Southern Podiatry Clinic on East Oak Street only a block from our Main Street.

One of our newest Quilt Trail blocks: Kenny Holden, a retired pharmacist (pills at the bottom) and volunteer fireman (yellow ladders on each side) created this pattern as a transition into his retirement (door in the tree trunk). The oak tree celebrates the seven oak trees in his front yard! Welcome to our Trail!
