Hammond, Louisiana is Where Sweet Tradition Meets Railroad Grit

Hammond, Louisiana was built at a crossing—where railroad tracks met the trail to Springfield—and history still lives there today. In this episode, Ed Staton traces Hammond’s rise from an early settlement to a transportation and commercial hub, powered by railroads, shaped by strawberries, and strengthened by service. Along the way, we spotlight Southeastern Louisiana University, Robin Roberts’ roots, and even a surprising connection to In the Heat of the Night.
