Lacombe Heritage Center

Lacombe Heritage Center To preserve, protect, promote, present and pass along the environmental, historical, and cultural heritage of our area The LHC morphed from that effort. Dept.

The Lacombe Heritage Center is a continuation of the Bayou Lacombe Bicentennial Community, established to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War and the founding of the United States as a republic on July 4, 1776. Lacombe is an unincorporated village on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain between Slidell and Mandeville. It was settled about 1720 in order to trade with

the French colony of Nouvelle Orleans across Lake Pontchartrain on the Mississippi river. The LHC is a continuation of the Heritage division of the Bayou Lacombe Bicentennial Commission organized in 1975. Through Heritage we produced a commemorative book on Lacombe; produced a TV film documentary on the Chacta-Creole tradition of Les Toussaints les Lumieres du Morte, which won the George Foster Peabody Award. Heritage established the Bayou Lacombe Rural Museum; and has done many presentations on our historical and cultural heritage. We also collaborate with government, business, schools, museums, libraries, and other civic nonprofit organizations. The LHC is a concept that coordinates talent, ability, and contributions rather than being a single physical entity, although, we are working on developing several physical extensions related to our concept. We have several proposals, plans, programs, and projects in process. Help is always appreciated! For instance, a hoped for St. Tammany Heritage Museum at the USFWS HQs, and a linear museum along the Tammany Trace and down Lake Rd. in Lacombe are planned. Since Lacombe is the gateway to the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge we were instrumental in the movement to Save Our Lake and the Big Branch Marsh in the 1980s and 90s. Through our two environmental divisions: STEP–St. Tammany Environmental Patrol, and LEAP––Lacombe Environmental Action Project we have obtained grants from the La. of Environmental Quality to transform Lake Rd and Bayou Paquet Rd. from illegal dump sites into useable and beautiful recreation areas.

BAD BUNNY vs MAD DONNIE.

135.4M VIEWS! 🤯 History Was Made — And It Was Ours. Last night wasn’t just a halftime show. It was a moment.

Bad Bunny didn’t just perform at the Super Bowl — he rewrote history, officially becoming the most-watched halftime show of all time with 135.4 million viewers across TV and digital platforms.

But numbers don’t explain why this hit so deep.

What people saw wasn’t just choreography, fireworks, or hits. They saw culture on the biggest stage in America. Spanish unapologetically filling a stadium. Brown faces centered, not sidelined. Latin American flags waving next to the U.S. flag — not asking for permission, just existing together.

From the message “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” to “Together, we are America,” this performance felt like a letter to every immigrant kid, every Mexican-American family, every person who’s ever been told they don’t belong.

The quiet moments mattered just as much — the child holding the trophy, the tenderness, the humanity. That’s why people are still talking. That’s why the internet hasn’t moved on.

This wasn’t about politics.
This was about visibility.
This was about pride.
This was about finally seeing ourselves reflected at the center of American culture — not as guests, but as contributors.

Love him or hate him, history is clear:
Bad Bunny didn’t follow the formula — he broke it.

And the world watched. 🏈🔥🇲🇽🇺🇸
