Even though Denham Springs is located in the shadows of Baton Rouge, it’s home to fewer than 10,000 residents, putting it smack dab in the small town category. Next time you’ve got a free afternoon, head over to the antique village, a lovely little walkable strip of local shops and restaurants where you can shop till you drop while supporting local businesses. This antique village in Louisiana boasts over 25 different businesses, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to explore them all!
The Denham Springs Antique Village stretches from E. Railroad Avenue to Centerville Street and features dozens of local shops to explore.
