The Boggs Family Legacy

A member of the Boggs family represented Louisiana in the Second Congressional District for more than four decades. This exhibit at the Old State Capitol traces the family from Hale's three decades in congress, to his disappearance and presumed death while campaigning in Alaska. After his untimely death, his wife Lindy was elected to his seat, where she served eight terms. The exhibit goes on to cover the lives of their children, all three of whom are also involved in politics as a journalist, mayor, and lobbyist. louisianaoldstatecapitol.org.
