Rosepine Historical Society
The Rosepine Historical Society is a non-profit organization formed in 2000 with the goal to preserve the rich history of Rosepine, Louisiana. The mission set forth is not only to preserve the history but also improve the community to include a much needed city park.
Since inception we have hosted the 2002 Centennial, we have minted a Centennial Coin, published a history book, published a cookbook of recipes from our Rosepine residents, we hold the Roses In the Pines Festival each April, and we are presently building a park for the community to enjoy.
