Step right up to the fascinating world of southern pastimes and play! The Historic New Orleans Collection’s 2025 Antiques Forum, held Aug. 8-10, will explore the history of southern amusement through its eclectic material culture – objects that reveal the sights, textures and stories of life’s pleasures amid the region’s complex history.
With session themes including board games, the circus, nineteenth-century pleasure gardens and how Thoroughbred breeding helped make horse racing a nationally hailed pastime, the symposium promises a playful assortment of delight and distraction.
