French-American Heritage Month

July is designated as French-American Heritage Month and is dedicated to celebrating and honoring the influences and the contributions that the French have had on the United States in art, culture, language, etiquette, and more. There are many ways to celebrate the month and recognize the shared culture and partnership with France. You may choose to enjoy French cuisine with friends, contribute to an organization supporting French-American culture, engage in social media discussions, or take a road trip to New York for a view of the iconic Statue of Liberty, which was made in Paris and presented to the United States in 1881 as a gift to commemorate the alliance between France and the United States.
