"The Interstate Progress" is published weekly from Logansport. I've added the names and telephone numbers of the newspapers, the mailing address and tel. number of the Parish Clerk, and the address, tel. number and hours of the DeSoto Parish Library to the LAGenWeb DeSoto Parish main page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ladesoto/index.htm No visit would be complete without a stop at the old Log Courthouse Museum, now open 8:00-4:30 Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri., and 8:00-4:00 on Wed. Director Eileen Nabors & staff members Eleah Gamble & Billie Chadwick have an encyclopedic knowledge of DeSoto Parish history. Many items of historic interest may be seen there, and publications of the DeSoto Historical Society are available for purchase. (Tel. number, etc. at the top of the DeSoto Parish main page.) State and local holidays vary and may affect openings, so it's always wise to call in advance. Rgds., Judy
