SCHOOLHOUSE: In 1885 the Felton School District, named for U. S. Senator
Felton, was formed and a school built in Mentryville, which was used until 1932.
The school served as a social center where dances were held, until later when a
recreation center was built. The Lagasse's Centennial project has been the
restoration of the Felton Schoolhouse. Many donations have been contributed to
this project by interested persons. Former pupils and two of their teachers still
return each year for the annual reunion. Several of them will be in attendance here
today.
