Small open-air museum with old houses. We had read that people dressed in period clothing tell stories, but there was no one there. Only an older gentleman sat in the school who talked very interestingly about music, sang and played the accordion.
Live Cajun music was supposed to take place here today, but it was cancelled.
A nice facility, but not a must-do
