[vplmail at beau.org]

Lots of events are occurring at the Vernon Parish Library now and through the new year.
 
Currently through mid-January, 2012 we have an exhibit on the historic Fullerton Sawmill. This is on loan from the Calcasieu Ranger District, Boyce, La. Fullerton was named after its owner S. H. Fullerton and the town existed from 1907 to 1927. The town was modern even by today's standards. The town had a hospital, dentist, commissary, cafe, post office, drug store barber shop, public telephones, bank, feed store, Ford dealership and even a jail.
 
Community life included a "motion picture show", dance pavilion, town band, town baseball team, Boy Scout troop, and a public swimming pool. It had both an elementary and high school. Religious life was centered around both Protestant and Catholic churches.
