Felterman Theater features an exciting air racing film that visually transports you to the heart of the 1932 Cleveland National Air Races.  The Cypress Sawmill Collection documents the history of the cypress lumber industry in Louisiana. In 1997, the Louisiana State Legislature designated Patterson as the cypress capital of Louisiana.
