Greetings From Pearl River..

We now have brochures and postcards! Brochures are free for visitors, and postcards are on sale 2 for $1. Postcards are original designs unique to the museum, and are only available here! Our first two designs feature the Pearl River School, and the Train Depot. We will be adding designs to represent each exhibit in the very near future.

Information to mail your form and payment in is located on the form. We appreciate your help in spreading the word about this memorial, and your support of our veterans!

Golden Opportunity Bus Tour

Golden Opportunity, a program with Ochsner, came to the Pearl River Museum on Friday, June 13, 2014. 

 

A group of 52 senior men and women from the famous Golden Opportunity Club sponsored a bus tour to the Northshore. Their first stop was The Pearl River Museum, arriving on a large chartered tour bus.

The Golden Opportunity Club is a popular program of Ochsner Health Systems of New Orleans. The group was a happy, enjoyable group and enjoyed the museum immensely, as well as the volunteers enjoying the group.  Their stay was short, as they traveled on to a local winery and The Fish House in Bush. They told us about their many travels, one of which was a trip to Alaska last year, along with many other interesting places.

 

 

 

 

Many thanks to museum volunteers: Bob & Jewell Moore, Stella Kemp, Dorothy Singletary, Matalyn Stark, Heather Benton and Ruby Gauley.
