NATCHITOCHES – The Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University will host an open house from 1-6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8 in Kyser Hall Room 116.

The Creole Heritage Center was established to promote and preserve Creole Culture. Although its initial focus was the Creole community of Cane River, the Center’s scope has broadened to include the entire state of Louisiana and Creole colonies throughout the world.
The upcoming Creole Heritage Celebration is themed “Let Your Legacy Live On” and will include a fun run/walk, panel discussions, a zydeco reception and dance, exhibits, vendors, tours and a tribute to Clementine Hunter.
