Nottoway Plantation sits at the edge of a sugar cane field, overlooking the
Mississippi River. The mansion blends Greek revival architecture with the
innovations of the original owner.

Greater New Orleans
Though it's a relatively recent arrival to New Orleans, the National World
War II Museum
<http://www.elabs3.com/c.html?rtr=on&s=e37,r4ly,3tij,hdvy,4qcy,hk8e,dak9>
is now a must for any visitor of the city. The museum, named the National
D-Day Museum until it was renamed by congress earlier this year, is popular
among all generations. It opened its doors in 2000, on the 56th anniversary
of the Normandy invasion that liberated Europe. Its location is due to the
fact that it was in New Orleans that Andrew Higgins built the landing craft
used in the amphibious craft used in the amphibious invasions. And it was
the Higgins Boat that President Eisenhower believed won the war for the
Allies. With galleries dedicated to efforts in Europe, the Pacific, Africa
and the home front, the National World War II Museum is a tribute to the
more than one million Americans who took part in the war effort.

Crossroads
The arrival of fall means one thing in Zwolle, La-that the Zwolle Tamale
Fiesta
<http://www.elabs3.com/c.html?rtr=on&s=e37,r4ly,3tij,6h3n,2902,hk8e,dak9>
is not far off. Held the second weekend of October each year, the Zwolle
Tamale Fiesta offers a fun-filled weekend of parades, concerts, crafts,
dancing, and activities for the entire family. Not to mention tons of
delicious hot tamales. The presence of the tamale in the town's culture has
roots in the Spanish occupation of the area centuries ago. The descendants
of French and Spanish adventurers, who formed families with the friendly
Native Americans, first settled Zwolle. Over the decades, Native Americans
and Spanish settlers and their descendants combined their efforts to produce
the most delectable hot tamale possible. And, of course, visitors can taste
the fruits of these efforts each year at the Zwolle Tamale Fiesta!
