Trailhead Mission
Mayor Edward J. Price, III, and the City Council are committed to making the Trailhead Facility a safe, inviting, and educational place for young and old alike.
Trailhead Mission Statement
The Trailhead is integral to providing the citizens and visitors of the City of Mandeville, and users of the Tammany Trace, a historical, environmental, and cultural interpretive center. The Trailhead helps to enrich the community, increase environmental awareness, offer educational opportunities and provide an arena for special events.
The Mandeville Trailhead Foundation is a 501-c-3, non-profit corporation overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors that provide day-to-day operations of the facility, and works in tandem with the city to develop programming and exhibits.
The Foundation is not only responsible for programming, but also handles ticket sales, marketing, publicity and public relations; and raises funds to support these programs while keeping ticket prices free or affordable. The City of Mandeville maintains the grounds and buildings of the Trailhead.
Statement of Values & Vision
The Trailhead Foundation values excellence; accessible and affordable arts experiences; diversity; a broad spectrum of programs; our unique environment; and fiscal responsibility. The Trailhead strives to be the premier center for integrating cultural and performing arts, education and community.
