A shop display in downtown Homer, Louisiana.

Step into history when you visit downtown Homer’s charming courthouse square, which boasts historic buildings and towering oak trees — all situated in the rolling hills of North Louisiana. Love antiques and flea markets? Main Street is packed with multiple stores: Dusty Rose Vintage Finds, Nanapuddins Antiques and Gifts, Time Travel Antiques & More and A Gracious Plenty (where you can eat lunch, too!).

Savor authentic flavors at Gonzalez Mexican Restaurant, get a scoop of ice cream at Honey’s on the Square or grab tea at Homer Nutrition. You can find gear for your next outdoor adventure at Michael’s Men’s Store and Sporting Goods and shop for gifts at Gray’s Jewelry.

Learn about Claiborne Parish's rich history at the Herbert S. Ford Memorial Museum, located in the downtown square. And the regional Boom or Bust Byway features public art, with gateway signs being installed in Homer, Lake Claiborne and nearby sites.

If you visit in October, make plans to attend the Louisiana Legends Fest. Drawing thousands to downtown, the event honors a different local legend every year.
