Event Details

Join us in the Scott Room with local author and linguist Anthony Lacoudre for a fascinating look at French toponyms in America. Toponyms - or place names - can reveal the rich history of a location. From New Rochelle to Lake Champlain, Montpelier to Louisiana, the legacy of French immigrants and explorers is all around us. Come listen to some of these places' stories. Allons-y!
