|  The Royal Sonesta New Orleans Announces the Reopening of a Landmark Desire Oyster Bar
New Orleans, Louisiana (March 6, 2015) - After months of careful planning and renovation, the iconic Desire Oyster Bar on Bourbon Street has reopened its doors at the
Royal Sonesta New Orleans. The restaurant's new look embraces its rich history while capturing a fresh contemporary feel that is also reflected in an exciting new and expanded menu.
Under the direction of executive chef Corey Jacobs, familiar favorites like Desire's famous Shrimp & Grits, New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp and the award winning Creole Gumbo are all back to the delight of Desire loyalists. The po'boy standards of Fried Catfish, Shrimp and Oyster share the spotlight with chef's new additions, a Portobello Po'Boy with Roasted Red Bell Pepper, Spinach & Swiss and the Chicken Fried Steak Po'Boy.
Pull up a chair and enjoy fresh Gulf oysters on the half shell shucked on demand for your dining pleasure. Or, order a plate full of peel and eat shrimp for a truly local experience that doesn't get any better. Desire's newest stars from the sea, Chargrilled Oysters, are impossible to resist so don't and you'll leave only to return again and again for this addictively delicious delicacy that has no equal.
For an early start there's simply nothing better than a Southern breakfast. Try the Jambalaya Breakfast Skillet prepared with Scrambled Eggs, Chicken, Smoked Sausage, Shrimp, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Onions, Peppers & Cheddar Cheese for a hearty beginning that will keep you satisfied well into the afternoon. If you prefer your eggs � la Benedict, sample Desire's Crab Cake Benedict, Poached Eggs, over Crispy Crab Cakes topped with a Cajun Spiced Hollandaise or try the Bayou Benedict, Poached Eggs over Fried Green Tomatoes finished with a Crawfish Hollandaise. From the griddle, Silver Dollar Pancakes topped with Fresh Berries, Southern Pecans, Chocolate Chips or Whipped Cream make Sunday mornings out extra special.
With expanded seating at the bar, Desire's interior renovation tastefully melds the property's original aesthetic with modern details. Inspiration for the redesign evokes architectural styles prevalent throughout the restaurant's historic Vieux Carr� location. Decorative iron grillwork paired with French doors that open to Bourbon street and an antique mirror reveal a fully stocked bar perfect for casual gatherings with friends. Signature features like the original tin ceiling and the black and white checkered tiled floor provide visual depth and compliment Desire's brand new state-of the-art chargrill station where magic happens.
This quintessential New Orleans dining establishment is back, better than ever. Locals and frequent patrons will be happy to learn that long-time employees like Ms. JoAnn Williams are excited about the restaurant's brand new look. "Not many people can say they have been employed with the same company for over 30 years in a job they love to perform," shares Williams. "Desire's customers and employees are dear to my heart, I would not change a moment of it." The return of veteran employees like Williams ensures continuity and an exceptional standard of service that keeps customers coming back to enjoy the fun, upbeat atmosphere that Desire Oyster Bar is noted for.
About Chef Jacobs Corey Jacobs is rooted in humble beginnings. As a young man, Jacobs found himself working two jobs to make ends meet. By day he worked at a grocery store and by night took work as a dishwasher in a restaurant. His innate talent and work ethic ultimately led to a career in the culinary field. He rose rapidly to sous chef eventually landing at the top as executive chef for Desire Oyster Bar. Chef Jacobs placed a premium on the value of a formal education and at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. obtained his certification as chef de cuisine. Jacobs has never forgotten his roots and credits his mentors for much of his success. As a seasoned professional at the helm of a New Orleans institution, chef Jacobs pays it forward by recognizing and developing young new talent.

Pittcon will donate $50,000 to local schools to support science education during Science Week
More than 16,000 attendees from over 90 countries will gather for Pittcon 2015, the world's largest conference and exposition for laboratory science, in New Orleans March 9-12. The event offers2,000+ technical presentations and 100 short courses that include a wide range of topics such as life sciences, pharmaceutical discovery, food science, environmental science, nanotechnology and many more. Pittcon will host Science Week in New Orleans, a free outreach and support program for science education in the city. Science Week will be supporting and enhancing science education by providing free student programs for participating schools. Pittcon will present a total of $50,000 in science equipment grants to schools with educators attending the program's teacher workshops. Participating schools within a 150 mile radius of New Orleans are eligible to receive a grant for up to $1,000. The grants enable schools to purchase science-related equipment to implement scientific experiments in their own classrooms. Pittcon donates more than one million dollars each year to fund science equipment grants, research grants, scholarships and internships for students, awards to teachers and professors, and grants to public science centers, libraries and museums. When the conference last met in New Orleans in 2008, Pittcon made a 2007 contribution of $100,000 for science equipment and supplies for six high schools affected by Hurricane Katrina, and an additional $120,000 in equipment in 2008 through grants to teachers who attended Science Week activities Pittcon is a Pennsylvania non-profit organization co-sponsored by the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh to create a premier annual convention and exposition on laboratory science. The organization is dedicated to furthering science education worldwide and providing the tools and knowledge necessary for future generations.

Acadie Then and Now: A People's History, edited by Warren and Mary Perrin and including their original contributions, is a collection of 65 articles by 55 authors on the Acadians and Cajuns living today in the American states of Louisiana, Texas, and Maine who can trace their history back to an original French settlement in today's Nova Scotia in 1605. The collection provides the readers with new insights on the past, present, and future of the Acadian descendants from all the Acadies of the world.
Media are invited to attend and are welcomed to speak with Warren Perrin. For any media inquiries, and book and interview requests, contact Jonathan Barnes, 504-897-6110, [email protected] or Warren Perrin, 337-501-3049.
All profits from the book will be donated to 22 Acadian museums located in 3 different countries. ABOUT WARREN Warren A. Perrin was born near Erath, LA and currently resides in Lafayette. He holds a Juris Doctorate degree from Louisiana State University School of Law and is an attorney with the firm of Perrin, Landry, deLaunay, Dartez, and Ouellet. He served as President of the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL) from 1994 to 2010 and an adjunct professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He is the founder of the Acadian Museum of Erath and is the author of six books dealing with French culture, including Acadian Redemption (2004), the first biography of an Acadian exile.

Monday March 9 3:30PM Please join us for a talk & signing with best-selling children's book author Peter Lerangis featuring THE CURSE OF THE KING (age range 8-12)
The adventure unfolds in this fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Seven Wonders series!
THREE BATTLES Thirteen-year-old Jack McKinley and his friends have already defeated the Colossus of Rhodes, visited Ancient Babylon, and outfoxed legions of undead all to recover three of the lost Loculi. But if they don't unearth the last four Loculi soon, the powers that made these victories possible will overwhelm the Select-and destroy the world.
TWO RIVALS Not only do Jack and his friends have to battle these seven ancient wonders, but they also have to contend with the Massa, who have taken over the Karai Institute and convinced Marco to switch sides. Outnumbered, under equipped, and growing weary, Jack, Cass, and Aly soldier on to find the long-lost Statue of Zeus.
ONE ENEMY But as time is running out, our heroes must confront gods, relive old battles, and face down their greatest enemy yet-their destiny. Old enemies become new friends and sudden victories turn to certain defeats as the time nears for everything to change. The stakes grow impossibly high in this latest adventure from master storyteller Peter Lerangis. Octavia Books 513 Octavia Street New Orleans, Louisiana 70115 504-899-READ (7323) octaviabooks.com

FREE PARKING IF YOU SHOP AT THE FARMERS MARKET!
(New Orleans, Louisiana-): The French Market and The New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park are proud to announce another unique New Orleans-style wellness class that is free and open to the public: Jazz Pilates with Stephanie Jordan.
The classes will be Wednesday, and will be held weekly from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. at the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park Visitor Center in Dutch Alley. Participants must bring their own fitness mat and are encouraged to arrive 15 to 30 minutes prior to allow time for parking, signing in, and meeting the instructor.

The French Market hosts a new weekly Crescent City Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 2-6 p.m. Farmers Market shoppers receive 2 hours of complimentary parking when they purchase something from the market. Coordinators are hoping this new program inspires people to rediscover the French Market District midweek-and think more about health and wellness at the start of the New Year, and Mardi Gras season.

Sex Please, We're Sixty Opens this Weekend!!
Mrs. Stancliffe's Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast has been successful for many years. Guests (nearly all women) return year after year. Her next-door neighbor, the silver-tongued Bud Davis believes that they return to spend time with "Bud the Stud" in romantic liaisons. The prim and proper Mrs. Stancliffe, of course, steadfastly denies this. Her other neighbor, Henry Mitchell, a retired chemist, has developed a little blue pill patented under the name "Venusia" after Venus, the goddess of love, to increase the libido in menopausal women, specifically Mrs. Stancliffe. The only problem is he doesn't know if it works or not. Bud inadvertently gets his hands on some of the "Venusia" pills and the fun begins as the guests arrive.

ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE
Fri-Sat
DINNER AND SHOW
(6:00pm Seating 8:00pm Showtime)
Sun
BRUNCH
(11:00am Seating 1:00pm Showtime)
"Always ... Patsy Cline" Comes to the Stage Door Canteen at The National WWII Museum
Tickets Now Available for March 6-April 5 Run
NEW ORLEANS - The National WWII Museum's live-theater venue, the Stage Door Canteen, regularly plays host to award-winning shows celebrating the music of the World War II era, but their newest offering will take audiences into the years following the war and celebrate one of country music's first crossover sensations.
"Always ... Patsy Cline," a musical play, complete with down-home country humor and true emotion, includes many of Cline's unforgettable hits such as "Crazy," "I Fall to Pieces," "Sweet Dreams," "Walkin' After Midnight," and many more.
The show, which runs March 13 - April 5, is more than a tribute to the legendary country singer, who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. It is based on a true story about Cline's friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961, and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death. The show takes its title from Cline's letters to Seger, which she signed affectionately "Love Always, Patsy."
Margaret Belton reprises the role of Patsy Cline from a recent award-winning appearance at Altarena Playhouse in Alameda, California.
"As long as I can remember, the music from old records was always one of my favorite sounds," said Belton. "Once I discovered Patsy, things changed. I just wanted to climb into her voice and live in it. The soul and love that pours from her voice made me feel so alive, and I deeply connected with it."
In addition to her many stage and screen credits, Belton also performs regularly as the lead singer of The Patsychords.

Courtyard turtles returning to Brennan's with a celebratory parade
Courtyard turtles returning to Brennan's with a celebratory parade
When Brennan's reopened late last year, several key members of the team were unable to make the grand opening: the courtyard turtles.
While construction continued on the outdoor seating area, the 10 "Turtles at Brennan's" were summering on the West Bank at the home of executive chef Haley Bittermann and anxiously awaiting their newly constructed home.
On March 14, they arrive at their French Quarter abode in style with a small-scale parade dubbed, "the slowest second line on earth." The turtles will be pulled down an emerald green carpet on tiny "floats" to the sound of bagpipe music, then cheered with a "lucky" toast once they reach the courtyard.
Five of the turtle are named for the French mother sauces (B�chamel, Espagnole, Hollandaise, Tomate and Velout�), while four others have been named after other key Louisiana sauces (Remoulade, Ravigote, Bordelaise and Mignonette). The only male turtle is (appropriately) named Cocktail.
A procession of 11 floats (handcrafted by the Brennan's staff) will pay tribute to the names and "personality" of each turtle. The turtle Bechamel's float features "illustrated sacks of flour and cartons of milk" while Mignonette's glitzier carriage will be embellished with "rosy-vinegar-pink and sparkling pearl oyster shells."
WHAT: "The Slowest Second Line on Earth" (Turtles return to Brennan's courtyard)
WHERE: Brennan's, 417 Royal St.
WHEN: Saturday, March 14, 2015, 10:30am

The once-a-month workshop is limited to 20 participants who must contact Rene Guilbeau at 780-4363 or[email protected]. Infant Massage is a parent enrichment program that provides loving touch from the start of a baby's life. It incorporates techniques that help promote social and emotional development, brain development and touch, adaptations for children with special needs, and bonding and attachment with parents and caregivers. According to Guilbeau, early psychological and sensory input is essential in facilitating the development of all infants. Infant massage contains critical elements of bonding including eye to eye contact, smiling, soothing sounds, caressing, smell, and mutual interaction. Benefits for the baby: Enhances bonding and attachment; promotes social, emotional and cognitive development; reduces gas and colic; strengthens and regulates primary organ systems; regulates behavioral patterns and promotes sleep. Benefits for parents: Enhances communication and emotional ties; promotes better understanding of infant cues; helps parents unwind and relax; provides quality one-on-one interaction; gives fathers a special time to connect and bond; For more information regarding this event, contact Chris Smith, Manager of Adult Programming for the library, at 504-889-8143 or [email protected].

ST. PAUL LUTHERAN CHURCH & SCHOOL CELEBRATES 175 YEARS!
What do the following have in common? Alexander Graham Bell's telephone, Thomas Edison's light bulb, Carl Benz's automobile, and Simon Hubig's pies? St. Paul Lutheran Church and School at 2624 Burgundy Street in the Marigny, has been around longer than all of them!
St. Paul was founded in 1840, and was in existence before the invention of the telephone, the light bulb, the automobile, and Hubig's pies! Originally meeting in a firehouse on Chartres Street, a group of German immigrants met for a protestant church service which marked the beginning of St. Paul Lutheran Church, as we know it today. Later that year, a German church school was added.
St. Paul Lutheran, on the corner of Port and Burgundy, has a rich history in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. It has persevered through many tragedies, including two fires, yellow fever, and the Civil War. During Katrina and the harrowing days thereafter, our church was Ground Zero for the people in our surrounding neighborhood (http://jsr.fsu.edu/Katrina/Goodline.htm). The months and years after the storm found our members and school families spread across the state and country. Yet there was no question that once again St. Paul would remain and continue our mission in its present community. We are proud that although our membership spreads throughout the greater New Orleans area (as depicted in our logo), we continue to stay true to our roots in the Marigny, Bywater, and St. Roch area. Many members have now chosen this community as their home, as well as a vibrant neighborhood they want to celebrate and improve. Moreover, generations of families send their children to our school and are happy to be a part of our church and neighborhood.
St. Paul Lutheran continues to support the surrounding neighborhoods and their associations. We offer building space for meetings and community events, as well as an accessible forum for civic issues. We also enjoy hosting our own events that draw our neighbors and us together whether it be for fellowship, spirituality, or support. We will continue to build upon our relationship of love and service to all those inside and outside the doors of St. Paul.
This year marks the 175th anniversary of God's grace and love at St. Paul, and YES...we are celebrating! Our theme LOVE ALIVE@ 175 is based on I John in the 4th chapter, "We love because he first loved us." St. Paul Church and School continues to thrive in its original neighborhood by sharing our love with each other and everyone around us because God first loved us. We want to share our joy and thankfulness by celebrating this momentous year with our present and former church members, alumni, community, and new friends and visitors. Four major events have been scheduled which reflect our history and current dedication to EDUCATION, MUSIC, FAITH and COMMUNITY! As our church and school celebrate this year, we continue to reach out to ALL...and welcome YOU to be a part of God's love!

Contact Cheryl Lemoine 504-782-2410 or [email protected] RE: AMICI CREATES TRADITIONAL ST. JOSEPH'S ALTAR New Orleans, LA- Amici Ristorante & Bar, the nouveau Sicilian eatery located on Magazine Street, will host a traditional St. Joseph's Day altar in honor of the Saint.

Not only is it part of our Italian-American history, but it's part of New Orleans history, so I believe that it's vital to keep the tradition alive," he added.

The 32nd Annual French Quarter Festival
is April 9th-12th 
The 32nd Annual French Quarter Festival presented by Chevron is April 9th-April 12th, 2015! Locals and tourism officials call French Quarter Festival 'the kickoff to festival season in New Orleans.' What started as a neighborhood festival and 'locals' event' has grown into the largest showcase of Louisiana music and food in the world, with an economic impact of over $251 million. Last year, Huffington Post named French Quarter Festival the "one thing to do in Louisiana." In 2015, attendees can look forward to food from some of New Orleans' finest restaurants at 'The World's Largest Jazz Brunch', performances from over 1,600 world class, local musicians, and an immersion into a unique cultural experience that cannot be replicated anywhere. Allen Toussaint to Perform at French Quarter Festival Locals' Day Returns Allen Toussaint is one of the most influential figures in New Orleans R&B. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2009, and the Blues Hall of Fame in 2011.The celebrated songwriter, record producer, and musician returns to French Quarter Festival for the first time since 1998. Allen Toussaint will perform on the riverfront Abita Stage on Locals' Day, Thursday, April 9th at 3:45 p.m. In what promises to be an incredible day of music, Mr. Toussaint will perform after the Grammy award-winning Rebirth Brass Band and before the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra with very special guests. The Very Best Live, Local Music Across 23 Stages Two New Stages in 2015 Year after year, French Quarter Festival is voted 'locals' favorite' while also attracting a tremendous out-of-town audience. A huge part of the appeal is that attendees get a true and authentic New Orleans experience - a broad range of Louisiana artists and a diverse variety of musical styles and genres. Since 1984, French Quarter Festival has been committed to featuring New Orleans' finest artists every day of the festival, on stages all over the French Quarter. The tradition grows in 2015, when French Quarter Festivals, Inc. (FQFI) unveils two new stages and expands its footprint and musical lineup. The new Outlet Collection at Riverwalk Spanish Plaza stage sponsored by The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk and Harrah's New Orleans will take the music across Canal Street with three days of programming. The new Omni Royal Orleans stage located at 500 Royal St. will bring more traditional jazz to the street with performances on Saturday and Sunday. Visit our website for the complete 2015 lineup, which includes over a dozen new acts. http://fqfi.org/frenchquarter/schedule/stage The 2015 French Quarter Festival will feature over 1,600 local artists. Festival organizers remain committed to growing the Musician Sponsorship Program; every dollar donated to the fund goes directly to the artists. In 2014, a total of over 250 individuals, foundations, and businesses signed up to support local musicians by 'adopting an artist.' Sponsors come from all over the United States - from California to Maryland - and are helping to keep French Quarter Festival free for the community. Musician sponsor Shelby Russ, President and CEO of AOS Solutions, calls sponsorship a way to enrich quality of life in New Orleans. "French Quarter Fest is one the quintessential celebrations of our abundance of artists in New Orleans. We believe the art that all of those talented individuals produce is the single most important driver of quality of life in this city. AOS has a long-standing commitment to reinvest in the community in which our employees and clients live. We are proud to give our sponsorship and our thanks to Irma Thomas and the entire French Quarter Fest team for enriching our home and our lives." The Festival is still seeking 2015 sponsorships. Contact Georgia Rhody at (504) 522-5730 or email [email protected] for more information. New Orleans Jazz Orchestra Residency The New Orleans Jazz Orchestra (NOJO) will have an unprecedented residency at French Quarter Festival celebrating the opening of their new home, the New Orleans Jazz Market, on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard. The residency will consist of four concerts during the 2015 French Quarter Festival.

Official French Quarter Festival 2015 Posters by Tami Curtis and Simon Hardeveld Fleurty Girl Unveils New Kermit Ruffins Shirt Designed for French Quarter Festival 
For the 2015 poster, renowned local mixed-media artist, Tami Curtis, draws inspiration from New Orleans musical icon, Little Freddie King. Little Freddie King hails from McComb, Mississippi and has a musical career that spans the decades. In the 60's Freddie played with the likes of Babe Stoval, Polka Dot Slim, Guitar Grady, Guitar Ray, Snooks Eaglin, Billy Tate, Harmonica Williams, Boogie Bill Webb, Rev Charles Jacobs (his cousin), Harmonica Slim and Eddie Lang. His 1970 recording, Harmonica Williams and Little Freddie King, is believed to be the first electric blues album recorded in New Orleans. Now into his 70's, Little Freddie has yet to slow down; since 2000 he has performed at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, French Quarter Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Ottawa Blues Festival, as well as nearly a dozen European festivals. The musician has just released a new album, Messin' Around Tha Living Room. French Quarter Festival is thrilled to honor him with this vibrant poster. 
Once again French Quarter Festival also features a special limited-edition poster created by New Orleans' most well-known French folk-art painter, Simon Hardeveld. Since the early 2000s, Hardeveld has entertained many with his hilarious and colorful paintings that hang in New Orleans restaurants like Boulangerie, Chickie Wah Wah, Lola's, and Joey K's. His pieces whimsically embody the unique culture of this spectacular city. 
Last year for the 2014 Satchmo SummerFest, French Quarter Festivals, Inc. partnered with Fleurty Girl to create custom-designed, festival-inspired shirts. The partnership continues in 2015 with the Kermit Ruffins unisex tee, which will sell for $25. All proceeds help fund the free, community event. A Showcase of New Orleans' Finest Cuisine In a city famous for its wealth of delicious and unique traditional food, French Quarter Festival gives attendees a taste of the best of the best at the 'The World's Largest Jazz Brunch.' Over 60 vendors feature classic New Orleans dishes as well as cuisine from the finest restaurants in the region. A number of restaurants have been with the festival since its beginning in 1984, and have been great partners for 30 years: Pat O'Brien's, Trey Yuen, Tujague's, Vaucresson Sausage, Desire Oyster Bar, and Court of Two Sisters. Other festival favorites return for 2015, including Galatoire's, Muriel's, Antoine's, Praline Connection, Dickie Brennan's, Restaurant R'evolution, Bennachin, Love at First Bite, GW Fins, House of Blues, Jacques-Imo's, K-Paul's, Mrs. Wheat's, Lasyone's Meat Pies, Ruth's Chris Steak House, Three Muses, and more. A full list of restaurants, including new vendors for 2015, will be released in March. Special Events, Programs, and Festival Extras Once again festival attendees will have access to free pedicabs, courtesy of Chevron. The festival app, sponsored by GE Capital will also return! Visit our Special Events page for details about the French Quarter Festival Second-Line Kickoff Parade; Let them Talk: Conversations about Louisiana Music;Film Fest at French Quarter Festival presented by Timecode: NOLA and more. Omni Royal Orleans Named Official Hotel of French Quarter Festival The historic Omni Royal Orleans, located in the heart of the neighborhood, is the official hotel of French Quarter Festival and Satchmo SummerFest. The Omni Royal Orleans offers graceful elegance and has received the AAA Four-Diamond luxury award for the past 27 years.

NOLA Navy Week 2015
NOLA Navy Week 2015 will be smaller, with six vessels that will be moored along the Mississippi River's east bank and opened for public tours. More than 2,700 sailors, Marines and Coast Guard personnel are expected to visit the city during the week. The ships are scheduled to arrive April 23 and depart April 29.
The USS Cole, the guided-missile destroyer that was attacked by suicide bombers in Yemen in 2000, killing 17 U.S. sailors and injuring 39 others, is among the five active warships from three nations currently scheduled to visit the port.
The flagship for the visit is the USS Wasp, the flattop amphibious assault ship that also was part of NOLA Navy Week 2012. It embarked to New Orleans with a contingent of Marines and their fighting equipment.
The Coast Guard barque Eagle, also a highlight of the 2012 NOLA Navy Week, is scheduled to return in April. However, it will be the only tall ship this time.
In addition to the Eagle, Cole and Wasp, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS James E. Williams, Canadian destroyer HMCS Athabaskan, and Great Britain's HMS Landcaster, known as "The Queen's Frigate," are tentatively scheduled to visit the port. France is considering sending a warship as well.
The ships will be berthed along the Mississippi River, with the Eagle moored at Bienville Street in Woldenberg Park
Andrew Jackson: Hero of New Orleans

Exhibition to highlight Andrew Jackson's role at the Battle of New Orleans
Display and additional programming commemorates the 200th anniversary of the battle
New Orleans, Louisiana - Two hundred years ago on a battlefield just outside of New Orleans, a frontier general and his motley force of regulars troops and volunteers defeated a larger, more experienced British army intent on capturing the port city. The Historic New Orleans Collection's new exhibition, presented in conjunction with the bicentennial of the Battle of New Orleans, sheds light on Andrew Jackson, the leader of that improbable American victory. "Andrew Jackson: Hero of New Orleans" will be available to the public at 533 Royal St., Tuesday-Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and
Sunday, 10:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., through March 29, 2015.
"Jackson was the 19th-century equivalent of a rock star," said Jason Wiese, exhibition curator and associate director of THNOC's Williams Research Center. "He was one of the United States' most famous heroes, as well as one of its most polarizing figures."
Before he became the seventh president of the United States, Jackson was a relatively unknown Tennessee militia general. His success in battles with Creek Indians introduced him to a national audience, but it was his triumph at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 that launched him to stardom.
