We were pleased to join in the America’s Potluck celebration hosted by the city of St. George at the Highland Road Community Park, sharing all of the free resources available from LPB that highlight the American Revolution and the important role Louisiana played in the patriot cause. From the epic Ken Burns docuseries exploring the founding of our country to the collection of standards-aligned educator resources exploring the role of Spanish Louisiana, LPB has shared and created content that both educates and entertains.

Louisiana’s Old State Capitol played host to a premiere party celebrating episode one of the PBS series The American Revolution. Also co-hosted by LPB and Louisiana’s America 250 Commission, Louisiana was treated to the first episode a full hour before its broadcast premiere! A huge thank you to Florentine Films for this wonderful opportunity and Rep. Mike Bayham, and Mary Durusau and the staff at Louisiana’s Old State Capitol.

A huge thank you to all who came out to our “Day of Revolutionary Fun” at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library – Main Library. Hundreds of people braved the rain to interact with history which included a Boston Tea Tasting, period dancing and music, and a conversation with Spanish Louisiana Governor Bernardo de Gálvez.

 Families and educators also learned about upcoming free educational resources being developed by LPB Education that will help young learners explore Louisiana’s vital role during the American Revolution. Special thank you to the Sons of the American Revolution, the Daughters of the American Revolution, Louisiane Vintage Dancers, Little Wars, Robert Freeland and the Louisiana America 250 Commission and of course, the East Baton Rouge Parish Library.
