History
The former company town was once the site of a large sawmill complex of the Crowell and Spencer Lumber Company, part of which is now preserved at the Southern Forest Heritage Museum and Research Center. Multiple buildings that originally belonged to the sawmill are now on the National Register of Historic Places.[3] The Red River and Gulf Railroad, which serviced the Long Leaf sawmill, is currently undergoing restoration.[4]
