Be a part of history. We're creating a Museum of the Fleur-de-lis™ in Baton Rouge. How would you like to be a part of this monumental endeavor? The first 33 volunteers will be, forever, a part of the museum.

​

We need volunteers to help get the word out, we need volunteers to begin cataloging fleurs around Louisiana as part of an amazing, virtual, geographical treasure hunt, we need qualified board members, we need early volunteer historians and academics, and to the volunteer that lands our krewe a meeting with Mrs. Benson (owner of the New Orleans Saints). 

​

To RSVP to our meeting November 17th 6:00pm at CC's Coffee House on Perkins Road near Acadian Thruway, click here.

Casey Delmont Johnson, author of Fleur of the Nile: Remaking the Fleur-de-lis, recently gave a talk at the New Orleans Museum of Art on the African origins of the fleur-de-lis while the museum exhibited Nefertari. In that talk, Casey shared with the audience his idea to establish a Museum of the Fleur-de-lis in by 2028.

 

We're making a first volunteer call so that The Fleur-de-lis Philanthropic Project can garnish public awareness and support for the museum cause. Our current goal is to get people willing to help us spread the word by any means they can. 

 

On Nov. 17 at 6PM Casey will meet with any prospective volunteers at CC’s on Perkins Road in Baton Rouge near Acadian Thruway. To RSVP for the event visit fleur-de-lis.com/museum. 

 

One of the project’s main goals is to eventually reach out to the current owner of the Saints (Mrs. Benson). In order to begin a dialogue that could reel in her support for the Fleur-de-lis museum concept.
