touring Historic Vermilionville, so Rich in Culture! - this was awesome so wonderful that our cajun heritage is being kept alive. The guides are awesome love that they get in character to spin cotton, play music instruments etc.

Unexpected trek back in history. - This was a fascinating experience. Our guide was Cajun and she thoroughly explained the different cultures that make up the area. She told us the history of each building as well as the French words. I highly recommend taking the tour as the explanation made everything come together.

Cultural learning experience - Lovely setting. GREAT crawfish etoufee and bread pudding. Highlight was definitely Chief! Very knowledgeable and witty. Learned about his tribe, among others that called Louisiana home.

Worth the trip! - This is an excellent one stop place to see the history of Cajun country from the native tribes era to the 20th century. A reasonable price for a multi hour experience. Highly recommended.

Great historical experience! - We thought the place was a great experience! We ate lunch at the restaurant and it was very good! The special was crawfish etouffee, cup of gumbo, green beans buttermilk biscuit and dessert either chocolate chip brownie or bread pudding! Great value and good food as well as service! We then did the self guided tour of Vermillionville! We were disappointed to see that all of the buildings were in need of repair, rotting boards on several buildings, mildew and peeling paint. The white picket fences rotted and were falling down. They surrounded most of the homes! There was only one actual person doing a demonstration! She was spinning cotton into thread and told us a little bit about the process! The cashier in the gift shop informed us that the staff had been cut drastically since COVID leading to the area buildings lack of upkeep! I don’t know how it’s funded but it would certainly be a shame for it to continue its decline.It’s a very beautiful and fun place to visit!

Great window into the bayou history - My wife and I spent about three hours here and really enjoyed ourselves. The self guided tour takes you through more than a dozen homes from the 1800’s that were relocated from the region and restored. The “village” includes houses, schoolhouse’s, a church, blacksmith shop, livery stand and even outhouses. Each house is decorated with furniture and fixtures from that particular period. There is even a building set aside for authentic Cajun-style music with locals playing guitars, banjos, fiddles and of course, harmonicas. The place even has a restaurant and a beautiful gift shop. (We did not try the Cajun traditional-style restaurant) We would have given it a 5 but there were only two ladies dressed in brood clothing and no one in the other buildings like the blacksmith shop even though this was a Saturday. We were told that they are having a hard time getting folks to volunteer.

To visit - It's a very beautiful place, I recommend this place much more than the Acadian village for the same price it's much better Vermilionville.

Visit - Very nice experience even if it was extremely hot… The different characters allow you to relive History…

Interesting tour - We went on a Wednesday. We only spoke with 4 persons on the tour. They were all bilinguals (French and English). The buildings would need a little love for renovations to keep them in shape. It costed us 10$us each. In 2 hours we had the tour done and had eaten at the restaurant authentic Cajun food (jambalaya and gumbo).

Worth the trip - The building s were beautiful, the Buffett was so-so, the live music was fantastic. We enjoyed visiting the grounds and listening to the band. Our only suggestion was that there were lots of display items in each building, but nothing to identify what they were or what they were used for and no one to ask. The ferry was fun to use.
