Acadian Village was established in 1976 with the mission of preserving our rich Acadiana heritage while helping to support LARC programs. All revenues generated at Acadian Village support LARC.

The homes that make up the Acadian Village are AUTHENTIC Acadian architecture. They were restored on site and outfitted with period antiques that depict the early 19th Century. The General Store, New Hope Chapel and the Blacksmith Shop are three REPLICAS also located on the Village grounds. Early life in rural Acadiana is more accurately depicted with the inclusion of the Fernand Stutes Grocery, Bar & Barber Shop on the Village grounds.

The Village serves as a training facilty and work place for LARC clients in the General and Mardi Gras Bead Stores.

Whether you are hosting a fundraiser, planning a wedding, or just throwing a party Acadian Village is the location for you. We have two event venues that can accommodate various sized groups and a chapel for intimate weddings.
