Through social media and local newspapers, we asked people to send us their memories and memorabilia.The response was overwhelming. Our book Pontchartrain Beach, A Family Affair is filled with personal stories, rare photographs and universal themes that harken back to this magical place.

Through interviews with former employees, performers and celebrities, we’ve been able to bring the Beach back to life and the charming stories by Harry’s five grandchildren are sure to delight!
