• Interesting and Very Well Done

  Very well done with a number of building to explore decorated with artifacts enhancing the overall feel of days gone by. Most of the houses and buildings are air conditioned making it helpful if you need a break from the heat. There is a lot of shade on the walking trails but can still get quite hot. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours here. Closed on Mondays and last entry into the park is at 3.

• Not that interesting

  Old houses that have been moved in, or reproduced houses. Old-looking furniture and other objects. Repetitive signs. Probably more fun at a busier time of year when the grounds are prettier and there are more people dressed up to talk about the history.

• Worth every penny.

  We opted for the guided tour and was so glad we did. Our guide was Ivy and she was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and patient. It was a really nice experience to be able to see all the homes from back in the 17th and 18th century. We also got to meet the local resident cats named Louie and Leo. The restaurant there was absolutely fabulous. We had lunch and the food was amazing. We highly recommend this tour.

• This is a good attraction for a visit to the Lafayette area. Scenic walks and preservation of history is nicely done.

  Our group enjoyed the guided tour to gain a deeper knowledge of early life in Louisiana. The people in the homes were very interesting to talk to and listen to the history they could share. The “village “ is pleasant and scenic to walk around and experience. The January day was a bit chilly but the sun was out, nice for an afternoon adventure.

• Great experience

  We had a great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the separate subject matter experts were a lot of fun to listen to as well. I would definitely recommend this tour.

  We loved this visit. Several characters decorate the course: a lady explained her patchwork work , a superb result, hours of work. In the school we discovered a very loquacious musician who spoke very well French and who pushed the chansonette, a real happiness.... In short, do not hesitate to visit this place.

  We arrived on a Thursday when they opened at 10am. The historical preservation and restoration work is wonderful. We talked to people dressed in period clothes. They shared historical details in a fun way, bringing the old houses and artifacts to life. The restaurant is onsite so we ate lunch. The food was absolutely amazing! The etouffee arrived in a cup with great flavor and plenty of crawfish. The etouffee menu item comes with a choice of 2 proteins, we selected shrimp and fish. We also ordered the daily special which included a cup of gumbo, pork jambalaya, vegetables, a honey biscuit, and dessert. You get plenty of food. Every thing we ordered was perfectly seasoned. The bread pudding with praline sauce was wonderful. We would definitely recommend the restaurant as its own destination! The restaurant hours are 11am-2pm and the historical views are available 10am-4pm. We found some must-have items in the gift shop, so allow time to linger for fun memories and purchases.

  

  

  

  

  

• An overview of Lafayette history & culture (and some great river views to boot)

  I took the guided tour and my guide was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. This was my first time visiting Lafayette & I wanted some historical background on the city. As you move from home to home, all relocated to the area from around Louisiana, you are led through a domestic history of life in the area. From trapper cabins to urban multi-room turn-of-the-century (19th) houses, you get a glimpse of Bayou life & the migration waves that made Lafayette what it is today. What I would love to see: the addition of replica early American Indian shelters (the differences between native tribe building techniques.)
