2025 Louisiana's Most Endangered Places

Since 1999, LTHP has recognized & advocated to save threatened historic sites across the state through its catalog of Louisiana's Most Endangered Places (MEP), calling attention to places that embody our cultural heritage & are in jeopardy of being lost.

Over 200 sites have been recognized in the Louisiana MEP listings, with over 50 sites having been saved & dozens currently being restored & renovated. The list is generated from nominations made by the public & aims to attract creative approaches & resources to see the sites saved & rehabilitated for future generations. Sites placed on the list remain until the threat of loss is resolved. 

Selections to Louisiana's Most Endangered Places list are based on their historic significance, the critical nature of their threat, & the likelihood to bring a positive resolution to their situation or to those of similar sites.
