Carville is a neighborhood of St. Gabriel, located in Iberville Parish in southern Louisiana, sixteen miles south of Baton Rouge, on the Mississippi River. Best known as the childhood hometown of famed political consultant James Carville, it is also known for its sixty-five-year history as the only place in America to treat leprosy until outpatient treatment became viable in 1981.[1][2][3] Nowadays, that legacy is celebrated at the National Hansen’s Disease Museum, which educates visitors about the condition.[4]
