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.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined us last night for a wonderful evening with author Jason Theriot! We enjoyed hearing Jason share his experiences interviewing World War II veterans, preserving their memories, and bringing their stories to life through his new book, "Frenchie".Personal stories like these offer a powerful glimpse into the lives, sacrifices, and experiences of those who lived through one of history’s most defining chapters. We are grateful to Jason for sharing his work with us and to everyone who came out to celebrate history, storytelling, and the importance of preserving the past.
