点评:Donaldsonville is the gateway to Louisiana's Cajun and Plantation Country, one of the state's oldest incorporated cities, the state capitol from 1829 to 1831. And the Donaldsonville Historic District contains the finest collection of buildings dating to the antebellum era of any Louisiana river town above New Orleans. It is bounded by the Mississippi River on the north, Bayou La Fourche on the south, Church Street on the east and Marchand Drive on the west. Railroad Avenue, the town's main street, bisects the district. Visitors can explore and admire the many sites by taking a 2.5-mile tour. Stroll along the Mississippi River levee and watch the ship traffic. Among the sites are the Mississippi Riverwalk, the River Road African-American Museum, Ascension Catholic Church built in the late 1800s and serving a parish established in 1772, Palo Alto and St. Emma Plantations, Ascension Parish Courthouse and Grapevine Cafe and Gallery. Also the B. Lemann & Bro. Department Store, a historic landmark and the oldest family owned department store in Louisiana and the Landry Tomb, a 20-foot-tall granite monument and burial vault in the cemetery of Ascension Catholic Church that was built in 1845 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Finally, stop at Framer Dave's Frame Shop on Mississippi Street to admire and purchase the works of local folk artist Alvin Batiste. The Donaldsonville Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
