Salmen Lodge

History
4
This French Creole cottage, affectionately called Salmen Lodge by the Scouts, is one of a few early structures preserved along Bayou Liberty and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Built by one of the early settlers with bricks made on site, evidence suggests it served as a trading post for Native Americans and early Spanish and French settlers. An 1885 property deed indicated that the building was used as a store and that a ferry and landing operated nearby.
