Jean Lafitte National Historical Park & Preserve, Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center

The Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center in Thibodaux tells stories of the origins, migration, settlement, and contemporary culture of the Acadians (Cajuns) and other cultural groups of this area. Join us for Ranger programs, films, special and permanent exhibits, musical performances, walking tours of historic Thibodaux, and boat tours of Bayou Lafourche. Admission to the center and to most programs is free. Kids and families can explore the center and earn a badge with the Junior Ranger program and create their own stories in our Gumbo Room through creative playtime. The center's park store sells local crafts, music, and books, including cookbooks and children's stories. Admission to the center is free.
