Upon entering the exhibit, there will be a kiosk that will show archival and new videos on loop.
In honor of her birthday, they have the flags that flew on December 15, 2018 over the U.S. Capitol and the U.S. flag and Sate of Louisiana flag from the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge.
After much searching, the museum has acquired the Blanco’s original desk and chair used by the former Governor during her time at the Capitol.
The organization responsible for the exhibit along with the Bayou Teche Museum is currently working with the state to complete a State Historical Marker, which will be installed downtown.
The Blanco family is busy procuring other artifacts to include. The timeline for completion of the park and the exhibit is one year.
