ADT Monitored Home Security Systems in Ponchatoula

Welcome to America's Antique Town: Ponchatoula, Louisiana. This small town offers dozens of opportunities to explore, and, as always, ADT is here to help keep your home secure while you're out.

Start your day down on Pine Street, and walk through the numerous antique shops that have helped make the town famous, like CJ's Antiques & Collectibles and Roussel's Specialty Shop (you can definitely find well-preserved china, pottery—well, pretty much just about any antique you'd want to find). Then head down to the Country Market in the old train depot to check out some local arts and crafts and Louisiana's largest flying flag. Or scope out the Art Station to see paintings from local artists. While you're in the neighborhood, don't forget to pay a visit to Ponchatoula's local celebrity—Ole Hardhide. Oh, did we mention he's an alligator?

For a taste of local history, check out the Collinswood School Museum, where you can see different artifacts and learn a little about the history of the region. You can also take the family to the Strawberry Train, a steam engine converted into a play area—kids are sure to love it!

There are also two seasonal events you won't want to miss in Ponchatoula: The Strawberry Festival, held every April, is one of the biggest events in Louisiana. Then, in the fall, get ready for a big Oktoberfest celebration—this event is sure to surprise you!
