|
|
|
Fort Crête-à-Pierrot
was
the theatre of the famous
March 24, 1802
battle among others that led to
Haiti
's independence from
France
in 1804. This historical monument is not
properly maintained
|
|
|
Once the pride of every Rivartibonitian, The
365 door Palace, pictured above, was
built in 1816 by King Henri Christophe. This
buiding is slowly dying. The relocation of
government offices to the newly constructed
building facilities has transformed the 365
doors Palace in an empty lot, leaky roof, and
watery soaked walls.
I propose the creation of a COMMITTEE TO RESTORE
KAWA.
Interested, email me: Asimeus@corpra.org

Tourism
can
be a good source of revenue for Petite Rivière
Artibonnite Commune. If our historical
monuments are well maintained, in addition to
Nan Sikret and the Artibonite river, we can sell
Petite Rivière to neighboring schools, vacation
clubs, and churches etc. Guided tours of the
city can be arranged. This will infuse funds in
the local economy
