Events

The Youth Volunteers will be heading to the Chatillon-DeMenil Mansion for the annual "Death and Mourning in the 19th Century" event. The volunteers will help with refreshments and other duties, and then they will get to attend the lectures and activities. There will be exhibits and speakers on such topics as women's mourning practices and cemetery and geneology research. All proceeds from this Halloween event will help to maintain the mansion, which is an historic house museum. The website for the foundation is www.demenil.org.
