The Westwego Historical Society is proud to announce two extraordinary presentations by Louisiana authors Daniel Alario and Marc Matrana. Both are well sought after speakers. Matrana will present a 30 minute slide presentation on the history of Louisiana's Seven Oaks Plantation, (which was one of the South’s most historic landmarks) and the fiery 1970’s political battle which raged over its preservation. Alario will present a 45 minute slide presentation on the unique history of Westwego, Louisiana, focusing on the area’s historic industries, families, religious institutions, and cultural folkways. These presentations are not to be missed, and are free and open to public. They will be held back-to-back on May 4, 2002 at 7pm at the Westwego Civic Center, 1220 Ave. H, Westwego, Louisiana. Refreshments will be available and dozens of historic photographs will be on display for viewing.
