    The Cajun Village is about halfway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge & New Orleans. There is a small collection of restored Acadian buildings that have been brought here from various areas in Louisiana and have been set up a variety of speciality shops.

    There is a gator pen down a path where they have two of these fellas called "Big Guy" and "Nubbie". Apparently they call them for lunch and they come up close to the fence to eat. Heavens knows who’s on the menu. They feed them any hot Summer Sunday around 4.00pm between April and September if you care to find out.

    This house was built in 1830 and moved from the west bank of the Mississippi River (3 miles downriver from Sunshine Bridge). It is a typical Arcadian style with a centre hall. In the 1940’s a cannonball from the Civil War gunboats on the Mississippi river was found in the attic by a roofing contractor.

    At the Village it is the Pottery store which features handcrafted wares made by local artists. There is functional and well as sculptural pottery. They have artists demonstrations and pottery classes for children and adults.

    This is a large 1830 centre hall Acadian home which originally came from Lutcher, Louisiana. There are three rooms down both sides and two down the centre hall. The interior walls are beaded cypress boards. It is a unique treasure because it was built with ‘bousillage’ insulation in the walls which was a mixture of mud and clay, moss and horse or animal hair.

    At the village it is the River Region Art Association which has original artwork, paintings, sculptures, wood craftings and handmade Louisiana souvenirs.

    Al Robert has collected and preserved buildings from the River Road and nearby communities for over 25 years. It is a very unique place to both view original homes plus do some local shopping as well.

    Inside a large barn you will see a display of tractors of the era.

    There is also an antique forge, built with original fire bricks.

    The house at the rear is an 1840 circa home of Dr. Joseph Hargais who was a dentist from Convent, Louisiana. With exposed beams and beaded-board walls this original 4 bedroom house had its interior walls removed. The house is used as a coffee house at the village and serves Cafe' au Lait and Hot Beignets as well as a full breakfast Mon – Sat and a hot homemade lunch Mon – Thurs.

    The Webb General Store
    The building in the front was built in 1900 and comes from Oak Grove near Prairieville in Louisiana.

    This is a 1900 circa house from Gonzales. It is a typical 4-room Acadian-style home where the original kitchen was separate but then later attached to the house..
