Bayou Tech Museum

New Iberia sits in the heart of Cajun Country yet it is the only remaining city in Louisiana to have been founded by the Spaniards.

The Bayou Teche Museum mission is to educate the public about the Bayou Teche and its environs, to preserve the history and culture of New Iberia, and to emphasize the industries that have shaped the region.

The Museum includes:

• A video introduction
• State-of-the-art interpretive and interactive exhibits with artifacts and memorabilia from the region
• All centered around the “snake-like” curves of Bayou Teche.
