Lastrapes Oak, "Seven Brothers"

 

Lastrapes Oak,
Jean Henri's seventh son was born April 4, 1809. Excited, Jean sent his workers into the woods to gather seven small live oak trees to plant aroud the home. Dismayed when the men returned late in the day the workers were told to put the oaks in a single hole in front of the homestead, to be replanted the next day. The cotton was being planted and the seven small trees fused together...a member of the National and Louisiana State Live Oak Socities. Located 1.2 miles south of Washington, State Hwy #10.
