Our work on the Freetown-Port Rico Historic District continues and we are looking for input from the community - both present day residents and those who have historic connection to the neighborhoods of Freetown, Port Rico, and Crapaudville.
Histories of the residents of these neighborhoods reach back into the stories of emancipated slaves that were freed either Pre- or Post- Civil War, Jewish immigrants, immigrants from western and eastern Europe and the Levant, French Acadian descendants, as well as other minorities. We are looking for 'community scholars', story holders, genealogies, and other documents that tie into the districts' early days.
