Visit Eunice

08/20/2025

Did you know Eunice is home to not one… not two… but THREE incredible museums celebrating our history, music, and culture?

TODAY, we’re starting with the Jean Lafitte National Park & Cultural Center! This stop is more than a museum. It’s a hands-on experience. From interactive exhibits and Cajun storytelling to live music demonstrations and seasonal programs, fun activities are always waiting for you here. It’s the perfect place to dive into the story of Cajun life, language, and traditions.

As part of the National Park Service, Jean Lafitte gives visitors an authentic look into the roots of our region, whether you’re a first-time guest or a lifelong local, there’s always something new to discover.

Coming up next:

👉 The CFMA Cajun Music Museum keeps the sounds of Cajun tradition alive.

👉 The Eunice Depot Museum, sharing our rich railroad and community history.

A Ride Through Time!

Eunice students are heading back to class this week, and we’re taking a moment to look back at Ivie E. Miller, the driver of Eunice’s very first school bus in 1922.

It crazy to think how things have changed from over 100 years ago! What’s changed the most about going back to school from your childhood to now?

The Visit Eunice team had the pleasure of sitting down with Joel Savoy, board member of the Eunice Liberty Center Association, to talk all things Liberty!

He shared incredible insight into the venue’s rich history and exciting plans for its future. Though still under renovation, the Liberty is on track to shine once again, just like it did in its heyday!
