Upcoming Events
Programs- Fall 2020
Dear Members of the Louisiana Historical Society,
First, we hope that this message finds you and yours in good health. We hope that, if you are able, you will continue to support the LHS through this trying period for our organization, our state, our nation, and the world. We hope that you will understand and forgive the lull in our spring programming activities, and embrace the online lectures which we’ve been working hard to prepare for the fall: in September, we’ll follow the career of Ms. E.L. Saxon (Lyle’s grandmother) as a suffragist and humanitarian; in October, the director of the Hermitage will give us his take on interpreting Andrew Jackson’s life and legacy in the 21st century; and in November, we’ll delve into the story of 19th-century Charity Hospital’s indigent patients via forensic analysis of their skeletons.
Instructions on how to sign up for the September 8 online lecture will be sent out to you soon. In the meantime, please be assured that the LHS remains committed to its mission, to encourage and promote the study of Louisiana’s rich history from a wide variety of research perspectives.
