If you are looking to run the perfect bed and breakfast or to buy a wonderfully redone early 1800's home then look no further. This 4,500 SF +/-, 6BR/4.5BA home has more history than you can shake a stick at. This would also be the perfect getaway retreat for a large family. The following history is attributed to Lily Bird Williams. The home was built during the 1850's, and was later owned by several families until it was purchased in 1917 by my husband shortly after our marriage. These were the days when life was uncomplicated. When meals were prepared by Ada, our families cook, on a wood burning stove with fresh ingredients from the garden and smoke house. Our family was the basic economic unit. Births were at home. My husband, Alcus George (A.G.) Williams, Sr., lovingly referred to by the family as Pinkie, bought the house in 1917 for me and our children, Irene, A.G. and Jimmy (who was soon to be born.) Other members of our family including Pinkie's mother, Ida Simmons and his brother Bernard and his family then joined us in what became our family compound of houses. We then renovated our newly acquired family home to our specifications and hence its current style and design. Later Pinkie was elected mayor of Osyka and served from 1925 to 1931 and again from 1933 to 1935. Our son A.G. Williams Jr. also served as mayor of Osyka from 1969 to 1971 and again from 1989 to 1991. Pinkie's company built many of the first roads in the area from Indian trails using mules and slips. During our early days in Osyka steam driven locomotives pulled trail loads of welcomed visitors, mail and supplies from New Orleans to the Osyka train depot, only steps away from our home.
