Egg Painting Event

     Saturday, March 29, 2014 the Pearl River Museum will be hosting an exclusive members event, featuring the St. Tammany Porcelain Art Club. Members of the art club will be assisting up to 15 members of the museum in the art of painting a porcelain egg. Everyone is invited to attend, members as well as non-members, but the eggs will be reserved for painting for the first 15 active members of the Pearl River & Honey Island Swamp Museum & Research Center. The event will start at 10am. We can reserve spots for members by phone, or by signing up in person. Any spaces not filled by reservation, will be available on a first come, first serve basis. We would like to thank the St. Tammany Porcelain Art Club for offering this opportunity to our members.

The Bible features the family tree, as well as important dates including marriages and births within the family. We have made space to display these items near our Reading Corner where we have many family histories on display.All items on display, have been copied and/or typed up and laminated for visitors that would like to read them.
