Description

Materials related to “Hopkins House” in Marion, Louisiana. The Hopkins House is on the national historical register. Included with the material is information on “In the Gloaming,” the song supposedly written by Anna Porter Harrison who lived in the house while her mother served as a governess before the Civil War. Other material includes autobiographical accounts of the family that owned the house. Most of the materials are copies from other sources, but an operetta performed at Marion High School in 1939 is enclosed in its original binding and hand-drawn cover.
