Annual Cedar Rest Cemetery Tour

The annual tour of Cedar Rest Cemetery will be held on Halloween Day at sunset.  This will be the 15th annual presentation of the tour.  Members in period dress portray citizens buried at Cedar Rest and all donations gathered are used to repair tombstones in the cemetery.

Mallard Collection Exhibition

Date to be announced.  The Society will make a joint presentation with the New Orleans Museum of Art showing our astonishing collection of photographs by George Mallard and the museum's collection of furniture made by his father Prudent Mallard.  The younger Mallard lived in Bay Saint Louis and the elder Mallard was perhaps the most famous American furniture maker of the 19th century.
