The People. The History. The Culture. The Industry.
Your front door to the magnificent Bayou Teche region!
Step into the Bayou Teche Museum to explore one of the country’s most colorful, bountiful and historically significant areas. Fun for the whole family, interactive exhibits showcase the spicy blend of cultures, artists, industries and lore that sprang from the land surrounding the snake-like curves of the peaceful South Louisiana bayou.
Historic, Charming Downtown
The Bayou Teche Museum is located on Main Street in charming downtown New Iberia, recognized by Forbes Magazine as America’s Prettiest Town and immortalized as the home town of James Lee Burke’s Dave Robicheaux. New Iberia is also the hometown of the late Blue Dog artist, George Rodrigue and Louisiana’s first female governor, Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco.
Local cuisine, historic sites, shopping and hotels are all within walking distance. And be sure not to miss the beautiful Bayou Teche and it’s floating kayak/canoe dock, just steps from the museum’s doors.

Welcome to another installment of Arti-FACT Friday! Who wants to kick off their weekend a game of Tambola?A popular game played at the Sports Center (reference to last week's post anybody?), Tambola, or tombola, was a game thought to be created in the 16th century in Italy, though it has many regional variants. Similar to BINGO, players purchase a card with pre-assigned numbers, and an announcer calls out numbers in an exciting way. If a number on their card is called, the players can use a marker, a coin, or a bean, to mark that number on their card. The person who has the most numbers called on their card wins a prize.Want to find out about other popular games that were played at the Sports Center?
