E. D. White Historic Site

Exploring this National Historic Landmark will offer both a tour through a historical structure and the culture that surrounded the home throughout history. Situated on the banks of Bayou Lafourche, this was the residence of two of Louisiana’s prominent political figures: Governor Edward Douglas White and his son, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Edward Douglass White. The exhibition in this historic house tells the story of the Bayou Lafourche area, tracing the history of the indigenous Chitimacha, Acadian settlers, slavery, sugar cane plantations and the White family. This beautiful antebellum home was built with hand-hewn cypress around 1824. Staff guided tours of the house and grounds are available. Free Admission!

Bayou Children's Museum

Reviewed By gregg238

We spent evening at the museum and got to see a little bit behind the scenes. It is the perfect opportunity fo kids up to 12 to learn and play. You can climb on a John Deere sugar cane cutter, something of a once in a lifetime for many. You can see what it’s like to be in the wheel house of a workboat. It was fun even at our age. This attraction is much better than New Orleans or Panama City Florida. I recommend this a must see if you have kids 12 and under!
