Historical Markers

The Lafourche Heritage Society periodically erects and dedicates roadside markers denoting historically significant locations throughout Lafourche Parish. These markers are intended to promote and highlight places and events important to the cultural heritage of our region. Some historical markers are co-sponsored by generous grants from community organizations.
To suggest a location for a historical marker, email the location and description of its historical significance to Clifton Theriot at clifton@theriot@nicholls.edu. Nominations can also include photographs of the location.

Dedication of the Thibodaux College plaque on May 2, 2019, sponsored by the Boys of TC and Lafourche Heritage Society that also honors the Brothers of Sacred Heart who loved them and taught them treasured values.
