Big thanks to all who took advantage of a surprisingly sunny afternoon after days of rain and came out for the Mother’s Day Home Tour yesterday; to the homeowners who graciously opened their homes; the artists who shared their creativity; and to the docents, volunteers, and tour committee members who made it happen. You all made our Home Tour a great success!
Tour proceeds are a critical source of support for the c1850 Jean Baptiste Lang House at 605 Carroll Street, which operates as a historic house museum offering tours, an event space, a library of research materials, and a gift shop. Additionally, tour proceeds allow OMHA to further our efforts to preserve and promote the history and cultural heritage of Old Mandeville through our publications, including the Jean Baptiste Lang House brochure, Old Mandeville Historic Site Plaque Locations (volumes 1 and 2), and the Old Mandeville Street Strolls walking tour guides (four so far, more to come); a summertime children's history camp; lectures on topics of interest; and periodic field trips to explore the rich cultural heritage of Louisiana and the Gulf South.
