Rip Van Winkle Gardens is a semi-tropical garden and nature preserve, with historic homes, in a unique setting. The Gardens cover over 20 secluded, rolling acres adjacent to Lake Peigneur. The stately live oak trees throughout provide a majestic umbrella for the floral tapestry beneath them. Literally thousands of blossoms can be seen any day of the year. The centerpiece of Rip Van Winkle Gardens is the historic Joe Jefferson House. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house was built in 1870 by the actor Joe Jefferson, who acquired international fame for his portrayal of the legendary Rip Van Winkle. The rooms are filled with various heirlooms and period pieces, giving visitors the feeling that they have stepped back in time to the Victorian age of elegance and grandeur. The Gallery of the Gardens, Acadiana's very own art museum, is part of Rip Van Winkle Gardens and features exhibitions from national as well as local collections.http://www.ripvanwinklegardens.com/

This is a National Trust Historic Site.http://www.shadowsontheteche.org

A replica of a village store and chapel enhance the atmosphere of a quaint village setting that is surrounded by ten acres of gardens and woodland. Located at Acadian Village, the Mississippi Valley Museum is open to Village visitors without additional charge.
