St. Mary Parish 

St. Mary Parish sits where the Atchafalaya Basin meets the Gulf, shaping a culture defined by water, industry, and tradition. The episode begins in Franklin with its historic homes and sugarcane roots before visiting the Chitimacha Tribe in Charenton, where basket weaving continues across generations. In Patterson, swamp tours reveal landscapes shaped by both nature and regional film history, while Berwick and Morgan City highlight a working waterfront tied to shrimping and offshore oil, including a visit to the historic Mr. Charlie rig. From local art to the shoreline at Cypremort Point, these stops reflect a parish shaped by water, culture, and resilience.
