Although the Mansfield Female College is owned by the state and run by Secretary of State Tom Schedler, this museum, like many others in Louisiana, depends on its Friends group to support the financial needs required to keep it open. The Friends of the Mansfield Female College own the Clista A. Calhoun Center and support the museum.

The Friends group raises money for items needed in the museum such as bookshelves. They hold a Christmas party and buy seasonal decorations for the museum and the Clista A. Calhoun Center. The Friends’ membership dues go toward building needs, such as flowerbeds or dormers for the windows.

Local Mayors Review 2017

The holidays have wrapped up, and a new year has just begun. The Enterprise reached out to DeSoto Parish’s village and town mayors to see how their communities fared in 2017.
