DeRidder Main Street
Southwest Louisiana’s “No Man’s Land” has a western vibe rooted in its unique history. DeRidder lies in the heart of this formerly disputed territory of Spanish Texas and the United States. For a deep-dive into local lore, travel the Myths and Legends Byway. Other must-see spots include the famous Gothic Hanging Jail and Beauregard Museum, both located downtown.
In downtown, grab your cowboy boots and hat at Hooks Big D Corral or shop for antiques at Treasure City Market. You’ll also find gifts, clothing, crafts, sewing items and an old-fashioned mercantile store.
Savor local eats, including cupcakes, coffee, Cajun cuisine and Mexican food.
