 Antique Stores

 

 

 

 

Many antique stores within close proximity if one another in the downtown area is a shopper's paradise.  Never know what treasures you're likely to find.  Combine Trade Days with the antiques stores and a trip to the mall and you can make a whole weekend of it.  Be sure and check out one of our fine restaurants while in town and maybe plan on spending the night at the Days Inn.   If it's the second Saturday of the month you can drop the husband off at the Bluegrass Show while you're shopping.   Just be sure you got his credit card or a little cash before you let him out.

The Depot itself was built in 1908 and is the only wooden depot in existence between Marshall, Texas and Jackson, Mississippi.  It served as both a passenger and freight station.  Today it houses the offices of the Chamber or Commerce.  This stunning example of "Main Street, USA"  also serves as a historical venue for meetings, weddings, shows, and other gatherings.

Downtown Arcadia has numerous buildings dating back to the turn of the 20th century, and today many are filled today with antique stores and great restaurants.

Travel two blocks west on North Railroad Avenue and you're at the old post office built in 1937 and still in use today.  It's open seven days a week and features a mural "Cotton Time".  "New Deal" enthusiasts will enjoy that this post office was painted by an artist under the New Deal's Work Project Administration (WPA).  The WPA put thousands of unemployed people to work in the 1930's and 1940's, including artists and writers.  This is a stunning example of their work.

Established by R.T Anderson in 1976. The original design featured only 9 holes and later added another 9 holes in the early ’90s. Trails End is located in the highest elevated parish in the state. The rolling hills of north-central Louisiana provide golfers with great views and challenges.

You don't have to be a long hitter on this course to score well, but you must strike your irons well to hit the greens.  You can play year round in North Louisiana, so get to the first tee.
