Carville is a national guard base now. I heard a rumor that there were still one or two lepers floating around there. Not sure if true. I think they all just died off.


Have heard the same. About 8 years ago I lived next to a couple that worked at the base and they said there were a few stragglers. I guess they might still be hanging on.

They had their own golf course there. I played it several times years ago after the place was basically closed as a leprosy home.
