St. Bernard Office of Tourism Seeks Stories and Photographs for Old Arabi
Exhibit

 

As part of the Sugar Museum, scheduled to open by the end of 2013, the St.
Bernard Office of Tourism is looking for images, stories, and quotes
relating to Old Arabi.  The exhibit will highlight the unique history of the
community, including the stockyards and slaughterhouses, the gambling
houses, and the neighborhood's growth up to the 1930s.

 

Materials should be submitted by email to info at visitstbernard.com or in
person at the Aycock Visitor Center, located at 409 Aycock St in Arabi.
Artifacts, such as newspaper clippings or pictures, will be scanned and
returned, often in the same visit.  For more information, please call the
Office of Tourism at 504-278-4242.
