The Boston Chapter organizes a variety of cultural and social events for its members throughout the year. Proceeds from Chapter benefits have been designated for specific grants that members have voted to support. The Boston Chapter has raised funds for restoration projects in Massachusetts at Gore Place, The Mount, and for Trinity Church, as well as Manoir du Catel, built in France in 1270 by a close friend of King Louis IX.
Recent Chapter highlights have included special receptions and dinners around the following lectures: “Inventing the Louvre: Art Politics and the Origins of the Modern Museum in Eighteenth- Century Paris,” by Andrew McClellan, Ph.D., Dean of Academic Affairs, Tufts University and former Chair of the Department of Art and Art History; and “France and the American Revolution: How French Political, Military and Financial Aid Influenced the Outcome of the American Revolution” by William M. Fowler, Jr.
French Heritage Society’s Boston Chapter Co-Chairmen are Francis de Marneffe and François Bardonnet.
