     To recognize locations of significance in The United Methodist Church, places can be granted ‘Landmark’ or ‘Historic Site’ status.  There are no Landmarks … sites of major importance to the Church in general … in the Louisiana Conference; but several congregations are listed as Historic Sites.

     Sites can apply to the Annual Conference for recognition.  We have a number of sites that have been recognized as historical by the Louisiana Conference.  According to previous Commission on Archives & History reports, these include: 
 

 • FUMC, Eunice, LA
 • Roanoke UMC, Roanoke
 • Calvary UMC, Thibodaux
 • Peoples UMC, New Orleans
 • Wesley-Booneville UMC, Bunkie
 • Glenmora UMC, Glenmora
 • FUMC, Lecompte
 • FUMC, Crowley
 • Holly Grove UMC, Holly Grove
 • Gibson UMC, Gibson

     There are other churches that have markers.  If you know of a church with a marker that is not listed here, please let us know. 
     To be recognized as an Historic Sites on a national level, the application has to be submitted to the General Commission on Archives & History.  If approved, a number is assigned to that site.  We have four nationally recognized sites in our Conference.
