Capitol Park Museum 660 N. 4th Street Baton Rouge, LA 70802 (225) 342-5428 Noon Ursula Emery McClure, A. Hays Town Professor at LSU's School of Architecture, will speak about Fort Proctor, on which construction began in 1856, but was halted in 1859 due to a hurricane and the beginning of the Civil War. Fort Proctor is one of several forts built or planned along Lake Borgne in Southeastern Louisiana following the War of 1812. Professor McClure’s interest in recoding ecological changes within the dynamic coastal environment led her to investigate this site, which is under extreme environmental risk. ***This event is FREE and open to the public***
