Southeastern Louisiana University's Department of History and Political Science invites those attending the LHA 43rd Annual Meeting to a reception at the Hammond Regional Arts Center in the Levy Building on East Thomas Street. Please come enjoy the comradery and sample Dr. Roman Heleniak's world-famous Southeastern seafood gumbo and the delicious Hungarian pastry from Hammond's Olde World Bakery. The eight modern parishes of East Baton Rouge, West Feliciana, East Feliciana, Saint Helena, Livingston, Tangipahoa, Washington and Saint Tammany maintain a distinct regional identity linked by geography and a peculiar common history. Exhibits, folk-life demonstrations, musical performances, a Humanities Fair and The Piney Woods Opry Roadshow complement the academic presentations.
All events are free and open to scholars, teachers, students and the interested public.
