Lafayette Museum at Alexandre Mouton House

Rooms, furnishings, and collected objects interpret the families connected with the house and the wider history of Acadiana. The building offers a more intimate view of local life than a large regional museum, with the house itself forming part of the interpretation.

Confirm current opening and tour arrangements before making a special trip. Historic rooms and collections may have access or photography restrictions, so follow the museum's guidance throughout the visit. Allow time for the interpretation of the people and social history associated with the house as well as its architecture.
