Fig. G-7. The farm played a central role in the Gailliot family. Chickens
were the main livestock and were sold from a butcher shop in old town Alexandria
during WW II. Later, the farm became a gravel pit- The Hill Top Sand and
Gravel Co. Then after the gravel was mined out, it became a landfill. Finally,
at the millineium, it is being transformed into a golf course. Photo by
