History of Money Hill
Money Hill acquired its name in the late 1800s. Legend has it that swashbuckling Barataria pirates and smugglers, perhaps even the notorious Jean Lafitte, buried some of their stolen loot at Money Hill.
The allure of these local tales was so strong that treasure hunters explored the grounds looking for buried treasure well into the 1930s.
The Goodyear family has been the dedicated caretakers of this magnificent property for nearly 100 years.
Originally purchased by the family as a logging site in the late 1800s, the two Goodyear brothers (Charles and Frank) created the paper mill and much of the subsequent town that was built around it in Bogalusa, Louisiana.
For decades the property supported the timber, pulp, paper and tung oil industries.
More recently, it was transformed into a fondly remembered campground for family vacationers and sportsmen.
