CELEBRATE THE LEGACY OF HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

Enjoy cake in celebration of Longfellow?s birthday!

In honor of Longfellow's birthday, we invite the community to share in his legacy! Submit poems, letters, reflections, readings, or even artwork inspired by his poetry.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (February 27, 1807 -March 24, 1882) was one of America's most beloved 19th-century poets. His epic poem, Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie, strengthened his place as the most famous writer of his time and left a lasting cultural impact, especially in Nova Scotia and Louisiana. His legacy still endures today in Acadian cultures, where Evangeline remains a symbol of resilience, identity, and heritage.
