Winnsboro Main Street

As you enter Winnsboro, its pride is clear. Known as the “Stars and Stripes Capital of Louisiana,” the town reveals this spirit with Patriot Square — a towering flag and countless soldier flags framing the community.

 

This pride continues in historic downtown. Start your visit at The Old Post Office Museum, where the Main Street team and Franklin Parish Tourism Commission greet you with inspiration for your trip. Explore the museum’s exhibits on cultural highlights, from Mardi Gras to catfish, and don’t miss the New Deal mural honoring the lumber industry.

 

A few blocks away is downtown’s crown jewel, The Princess Theatre, a 1907 landmark. Watch plays, musicals and movies. 

 

Enjoy lunch at The Coffee Shop. Try the in-house bakery, Kallie’s Cookies, and appreciate the locals’ warm hospitality. Winnsboro also offers shopping at places like Southern Roots Market, where you can find new clothes, vintage glassware, hand-crafted soaps and fresh sourdough bread and tea cakes.
