    History


    The exact year of the house's construction is under research, with 1750 being the earliest given date and 1830 the latest. Data shows that the Francois Cousin House, located across Bayou Liberty in the area of the Salmen House, was built between 1787 and 1790 indicating settlement in the area at that time. While the style of house construction favors that of a family home, many believe that the building served as a trading post.
    From 1924 to 1983, the New Orleans Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America ran Camp Salmen on the adjacent property and used the house as the main lodge. In 2010, the former camp became the Camp Salmen Nature Park.
