The Vienna historical marker disappeared from its sign post in front of the old First Baptist Church of Vienna years ago. It was finally recovered, refurbished, and erected in front of the Vienna Town Hall. Thanks to Rick Godley of the Lincoln Parish Museum & Historical Society, the Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office, the Lincoln Parish Police Jury, and the Village of Vienna for making this happen!

Honoring our past while creating a remarkable future!
