Louisiana Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff

By Bonnye E. Stuart

Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Pelican State has to offer

Whether you're a born-and-raised Louisianan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Louisiana Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Louisiana native Bonnye Stuart takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sites in the Pelican State.

Track down some serious fun, from watching lawnmower racing and petting live alligators to attending a prison rodeo and dancing at a powwow.

Feast your way through festivals that celebrate the state's cultural diversity and local crops, from fiery Cajun gumbo to sweet mayhaw jelly--and stop in at the local wineries and microbreweries to quench your thirst.

Learn about the darker side of Louisiana as you tour haunted plantations, mysterious mansions, and spooky cemeteries.
