Miss Rose's Bar, designed and sculpted by local artist Al Lavergne, was displayed at the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans, Louisiana. It symbolically represented and paid tribute to the significant roles that neighborhood bars, barbershops, and churches played in African American history as venues used to promote community harmony during the tumultuous 1950's and 60's. In 2002, it was found rusting in a field near Basile, Louisiana, then restored and moved to a new home through the volunteer efforts and donations of the members of the Rotary Club of Lafayette North, allowing Miss Rose's Bar to once again serve goodwill to all, excluding no one.
