Louisiana is home to a wide diversity of peoples, Indians, French, Spanish, Anglo-American, Germans, African Americans, and Acadians, all making significant contributions to the state's cultural heritage. The Rural Life Museum recalls the lifestyles and cultures of these peoples.

The museum is divided into three sections: Louisiana Folk Architecture, illustrated by seven buildings; The Barn, containing artifacts from everyday rural life; and The Working Plantation, examples of activities of rural life on a working plantation.

The Louisiana members of the SEAALL Krewe have been planning for two years and we are anxious to greet our members and friends.
