George Montgomery and I received word from curator Tony Lewis that the 1937 miniature of James Peter Trezevant will be displayed at the Louisiana State Museum.
We are moving through an update/reinstallation of the Cabildo, bit by bit, and find that we do have space and the interpretive framework to include the miniature of J.P. Trezevant in a section devoted to the aftermath of the Louisiana Purchase and westward expansion. The story is large, and space is limited, but the miniature should be displayed for quite some time – the exhibit is a “permanent” one, as opposed to a special exhibit of limited duration. This is our main exhibit encompassing the history of Louisiana from the time of first contact with native Americans through the Civil War and Reconstruction.
