Our tour guide (Cecily?) Was amazing and she's a great singer. We learned alot during the tour. Would highly recommend it when in Lafayette.

Enjoyed an afternoon touring the cabins, homes, church, barn, and so much more. We really enjoyed the demonstrations of weaving, genealogy, spinning yarn, Cajun music, and so much more. The personal interaction with the people plying there crafts allowed questions. We will definitely return. It is one of the best living history exhibits I've seen anywhere. Too often we think history is the story of famous men and women. This shows what life was like for regular folks.

This was a outstanding example of a historic Cajun village. My children were impressed and found it fun even though you learn stuff. Great outing for families.
