Ruston sprang up in the 1880s around a railroad depot, and that small-town warmth still shapes the place today, from the shaded streets near Louisiana Tech to the aroma of fresh-baked goods drifting from local bakeries. Travelers can dig into 46 restaurants serving everything from Southern comfort food to global flavors, then rest up at one of 8 hotels scattered around town.
