EXPERIENCE
Historic Riverlands
See the Sites, Feel the Spirit and Hear the Music
Welcome to Historic Riverlands, a unique and multifaceted estate located in Reserve, Louisiana. Situated on 4.5 acres of the former Cornland Plantation and is listed on Louisiana’s African American Heritage Trail. This property is dedicated to the enlightenment, empowerment, and education of man, through the spirit, soul, and body.
Our grounds are home to three distinct entities, each contributing to the rich tapestry of our community. At the Historic Riverlands, experience:
- Spiritual awakening, through Riverlands Christian Center Church.
- Educational awakening through Little Leaders Learning Center Preschool.
- Cultural awakening through Historic Riverlands Tours.
HISTORIC RIVERLANDS TOURS
Historic Riverlands Tours began as a result of the church building being added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2005. It was chosen to be included due to its local significance in the areas of social history, ethnic heritage, and religious history of southern Louisiana. We felt compelled to share this information with others, so we began providing tours in 2012. We are dedicated to preserving the authentic African-American story, while also providing education and entertainment. Historic Riverlands tours are a valuable contribution to Louisiana’s tourism industry in the River Parishes.
RIVERLANDS CHRISTIAN CENTER CHURCH
Riverlands Christian Center Church was established in the State of Louisiana in 1988. It is a non-denominational word of faith teaching ministry, where we share the uncompromised Word of God. We encourage the importance of cultivating a personal relationship with God, which we believe will help you fulfill your God-given purpose on this earth.
LITTLE LEADERS LEARNING CENTER
Little Leaders Learning Center is a Louisiana licensed preschool program established in 1998. We service children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. We offer a high-quality early childhood education experience that meets state standards for curriculum, teacher qualifications, health and safety, and family engagement. Our mission is to establish each child spiritually, emotionally, socially, academically, and physically to prepare them for society through daily activities.
