A new book highlighting the art and oral history of the French Quarter was launched at Amuseum Naturalis, celebrating the heritage and stories of the community.
The publication, centered on the work of Sir Roland Richardson, combines visual art with firsthand accounts to preserve the cultural identity and lived experiences of residents.
Organizers said the project aimed to document and share the rich history of the French Quarter, ensuring that traditions and personal narratives are passed on to future generations.
The launch event brought together community members, historians, and art enthusiasts, underscoring the importance of cultural preservation and storytelling in St. Maarten.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to promote heritage awareness and safeguard the island’s cultural legacy.
