The wooded blufflands excited his imagination; the early settlers who built homes in this wilderness became his friends and supporters. Oakley, where Audubon came to tutor Eliza Pirrie in 1821, is the centerpiece of the Audubon State Historic Site. The West Feliciana Historical Society stages the Pilgrimage to share with visitors the history of Audubon's Happy Land.
