    A great starting point if you want to know the history of the area & the Acadians (Cajuns). Movie was great and so was the displays, they teach about the struggles of these amazing people. Well done.

    You have to come to visit the experience! Absolute! I am unable to find the words I can use to express how it felt to time travel 400 plus years into the past while taking in some awesome history of our ancestors. Can you imagine? Time changes everything and everything changes in time.

    WONDERFUL exhibits that are detailed in history and artifacts. This is the place to learn about the history of the area. Rangers here we’re very friendly, and place is impeccably clean. Check out the green area outside the center as well, peaceful and quiet.
