"Shed Road" - Louisiana History

The history of the infamous "shed" road. In the 18th century one of the most unusual roads in america was covered by a roof for 14 MILES!.

I lived on Shed Rd, "it's a famous rd" I'd tell them, but no one would believe it so I show them this. Thanks Rick.

@Louisiana yesu There is something special about Shreveport/Bossier... I am a Native Texan, Born and Raised in Ft Worth Texas, but Shreveport/Bossier has a special place in my heart! 🍻

Are no coincidences in life, it's a trip just go with the flow man! Everything is meant to be if it happens.

This is really cool . Had no idea.

[@DtotheK88]

Does anyone know exactly why the road needed to be covered with a roof?

[@skofflaww3883]

To prevent the mud.

[@denisehodges9587]

And protect the crops and people from the hot Louisiana sun in the summertime.
