“The Great Flood: A Mississippi River Centennial 1927-2027” is a two year-long project that commemorates the devastating 1927 flood and its lasting impact on the communities throughout the Lower Mississippi Valley. This collaborative initiative invites arts and culture organizations, artists, businesses, and local communities to participate by hosting events and programming throughout the impacted area. A key component of the project is the installation of site-specific markers to recognize the people, places and events affected by the event and its aftermath. Markers will be funded through community-driven efforts and facilitated by the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation.
Join us in exploring this powerful moment in our nation’s history and contributing to the shared legacy of resilience and recovery.
