Welcome to Hammond, Louisiana, home of Southeastern Louisiana University and the SLU Lions. SLU is one of the fastest-growing universities in the country, but this college town isn't just for students. Hammond offers something for everyone, whether you're here for your degree, to start a new job, or to retire down on the bayou. And no matter what brings you here, ADT has your back, so you can explore the area knowing professionals are helping protect your home.

Start your day at Kliebert's Turtle and Alligator farm, where you can meet local animal celebrities like the fifteen-foot American alligator, Crush. In addition to gators, Kliebert's features a variety of other animals and is a favorite for families. Other family-friendly attractions include Louisiana Children's Discovery Center (here, your kids can embrace playology: developing and learning through play) and the beautiful North Oak Park (catch the SLU softball team during every home game!).

Finish off your afternoon with a walk through the Tangipahoa African American Heritage Museum. Or, if you're lucky enough to be here in November, check out the Louisiana Renaissance Festival for some historical fun.

After your adventures, grab a pint of craft beer at the Red White & Brew or Gnarly Barley Brewing with your friends. No matter how you spend your days in Hammond, you'll enjoy every second of it.
