About this Event

This film screening and discussion serve as companion programming to the museum’s traveling exhibition, Hidden in Plain Sight: Exploring Louisiana's Disappearing Prairie, which will be on display from Tuesday, November 24 through Friday, December 18, 2026.

Directed by Jillian Godshall and produced by Dr. Phyllis Baudoin Griffard, the film explores the history of Louisiana's forgotten prairie ecosystems and the vital community movement working to preserve them.
