The History of Goodbee, LA

There are several fourth and fifth generation families still living in Goodbee. One of our initiatives is  to speak to some of these families and document as much history about the area as we can before it's lost to time. 

Goodbee was known for timber, raising cattle, farming and rice fields. Hwy 1077, known as Turnpike Rd when it was built in 1847 was original called  "Kentucky Road" as it was traveled by the men who floated down the Mississippi River on rafts and then started their journey back home.
