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 most recently for 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 Lewis Stetson Allen and
Francis de Marneffe.
