Newellton, Louisiana - Giant Mailbox Just outside the town of Newellton, in northeast Louisiana, there is a giant mailbox at the entrance to a farm. It stands about 20 feet tall, and is on a giant post. I'm not sure who owns the place, or what the story behind it is, but it's a neat landmark nonetheless. [Ernest C.
