This quasi-Romanesque brick cathedral in Lafayette is worth a look.

We were led to grounds of St John’s Cathedral in our downtown Lafayette scavenger hunt. We happened to see the cathedral the day before Easter. Unbelievably beautiful!

Built in 1800 by city founder Jean Mouton, this antebellum home later belonged to Jean's son, Alexandre, first Democratic governor of Louisiana, and now houses antiques, paintings and a collection of Mardi Gras costumes.

My last visit was 50years ago, in town for a high school reunion, it’s an education to see this building again and the restoration at hand. Outside, time seems to stand still, but on the inside there is much going on. This is a must see to understand the Lafayette experience and remember the past. Take the tour, fun.

Get a taste of life for the 18th-century Acadian settlers in this 23-acre village with meticulously recreated period homes, costumed staff demonstrating arts and crafts and a restaurant serving Cajun and Creole food.

One of the earliest settlements along the banks of the Bayou Vermilion. Two hundred years ago! Very historic and the interpreters are wonderful. They are in the time period wardrobe and give detailed history of life and crafts of the time period 1765 to 1890. We were totally impressed with this historic village! Spend as much time as you have in this place.

Step back in time to a small 19th-century Cajun bayou community, which includes genuine Cajun homes relocated and combined with recreated period buildings and a Native American museum.
Reviewed By sodabear2003 - DeRidder, United States
This is a very pretty place to visit, it is a step back in time. when we visited they had a wedding taking place, but you could still visit all the buildings except 2 where the wedding party was. charming, ducks, turtles, and fish are in the ponds and they have little food machine where you can feed all the animals. The store has all kinds of stuff you can buy and the staff is very helpful.

Everyone who lives or is a visitor to Acadiana, must come and see the history of the Cajuns; Over 200 years masterfully set at this museum, along with a short film to highlight their journey! The staff is not only friendly but extremely knowledgeable about the history! And it is FREE! Best I have experienced in all my travels! A must on your agenda of things to do!!
