The Pitot House Life on the Bayou Heritage Fair is a once a year opportunity for children and adults to experience artisans demonstrating traditional 18th and 19th century crafts, games, boat building, and carpentry, plus storytelling by Grayhawk Perkins. Volunteers help with setting up tents, tables, chairs, putting trash cans out, and setting up refreshments on the grounds on the Pitot House, monitoring gates and activities, replenishing water, monitoring trash and bathrooms to insure the event is a clean environment, and helping with breaking down the event at the end of the day.

Mission Statement
Focusing our efforts on the New Orleans area, Louisiana Landmarks Society mission is to promote historic preservation through education, advocacy and operation of the Pitot House, a circa 1799 Creole West Indies country home on Bayou St. John.
Description
The Louisiana Landmarks Society is a non-profit 501(C)3 preservation advocacy organization, established in 1950. With founders such as Samuel Wilson, Jr. and Martha Robinson, Landmarks rapidly defined preservation advocacy in New Orleans by leading the charge to preserve Gallier Hall in 1950 and defeat the proposed Riverfront Expressway a decade later. Today, the spirit of the organization’s founders lives on in Landmarks’ annual "New Orleans’ 9 Most Endangered" listing of at-risk historic properties. Landmarks’ preservation activities restored the c. 1799 Pitot House to its Creole West Indies colonial charm and current use as a site for preservation education.
