Heritage lecture with Rod Dreher

The Foundation for Historical Louisiana will host a lecture and book signing Thursday by author and Louisiana native Rod Dreher at the Old Governor’s Mansion (Map it!). Dreher will discuss his latest book, The Little Way of Ruthie Leming: A Southern Girl, a Small Town, and the Secret of a Good Life, a story of a family and a community coming together to deal with the unexpected death of the title character. Dreher will also discuss his decision to move back to his home state. You can read more on this topic in his column in Baton Rouge Business Report here. The event will have refreshments served at 6 p.m.; the presentation starts at 6:30 p.m. The event is free to all FHL members and costs $10 for guests. Call 387-2464 to RSVP.
