LIVING HISTORY WEDNESDAYS: EN FRANCAIS

Pre-registered French immersion school groups are invited to take a tour on any Wednesday of the school year. Led by Jolène Adam, guide-interprète, in period appropriate costumes, students will watch a short introductory video, tour the Maison Olivier and see cool demonstrations. Students will then continue to the Acadian Cabin in order to better compare plantation life to the life of an Acadian Yeoman farmer. If time allows, groups are welcome to explore our Acadian Farmstead area. Demonstrations on spinning, weaving, furs/hides, blacksmithing and the firing of black powder weapons are typically available upon request. Schools wishing to participate in this program can call 337.394.3754 to register.
Longfellow Evangeline SHS is the first state park located on the scenic Bayou Teche. We preserve, protect, and present the history of the Creole, Acadian, and enslaved settlers who made Louisiana such a rich cultural treasure. Hope to see you soon.
Hours of Operation: 9:00am - 5:00pm
