Ethel Claiborne Dameron Lecture Series: Faye Phillips and Chip Landry

For its November presentation for the Ethel Claiborne Dameron Lecture series, the West Baton Rouge Historical Association welcomes authors Faye Phillips and Chip Landry to discuss their book Historic Magnolia Cemetery. 

The book is a written history of this special piece of magnolia-treed land on the eastern edge of Baton Rouge, which the mid-19th century government selected as the resting place for families of all races, religious affiliations, and economic status. These included both Confederate and Union soldiers who fought there in a battle on August 5, 1862 and found themselves permanent residents. Free. 2:30 pm. westbatonrougemuseum.org.
