The Lecompte Garden Club reports "NEW ADDITION TO THE MUSEUM. Thanks to the Garden Club and the Louisiana Garden Club Federation for moving the beautiful Blue Star Memorial By-way monument to the Old LHS Museum.
The Louisiana Garden Club Federation had the beautiful old Hardy house on Water Street (beside the Lecompte Medical Clinic) designated as their State Headquarters for many years. They have sold the house and at this time they do not have a central Federation headquarters. The new owners will be moving in toward the end of August 2024. So the Federation needed to find a new home for the Blue Star memorial.
They worked with the Lecompte Garden Club to have the memorial moved to the front lawn of Old LHS. It was estimated the granite stone and solid bronze plaque weighed more that 300 pounds! Luckily there was no cement base and the memorial was just "sitting" on the ground and not dug deep into it. So it was a pretty easy move, and now it graces the front lawn of Old LHS and is a perfect compliment to our large Veteran's Memorial Monument.
Now, looking at the front lawn of Old LHS we have the Louisiana Historical Marker on one side of the sidewalk and the Blue Star Memorial on the other, with the large Veteran's Monument in the middle. "
