Fort Humbug Memorial Park
Entrance from Fant or Youree Streets.
One of several forts built when rumors spread that General Banks was heading towards Shreveport. The fort's name derives from the charred logs placed along the river to appear as cannons thus "humbugging" enemy scouts into believing the fort was well armed. Old log ramparts and earthen breastworks have been replaced.
