Frontier of Freedom: Louisiana’s Legacy in the American Story

To mark the beginning of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, Sabine Parish will host a community kickoff event at Fort Jesup Historic Site, honoring the people and stories that connect Louisiana to the founding and growth of the United States.

The event, Frontier of Freedom: Louisiana’s Legacy in the American Story, will feature guest speakers, music, food, and educational experiences — all set within one of Louisiana’s most historically significant landmarks. The celebration will highlight Louisiana’s colonial, maritime, and frontier history, connecting the story of the El Nuevo Constante shipwreck and the Galvez Expedition to the American Revolution and the establishment of Fort Jesup on the frontier.
