Jean Lafitte Acadian Wetlands Cultural Center
The cultural heritage of Thibodaux and the surrounding area is celebrated daily at the Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center.  Authentic exhibits of the recreation, clothing, home furnishings, religion, cuisine, and fishing are explored through exhibits, artifacts, videos, and films.  Local musicians gather for weekly jam sessions and demonstrations of boat-building, duck carving, net making and other local crafts are scheduled frequently.
 
Experience Thibodaux's lush environment as ranger-guided boat tours cruise Bayou Lafourche and explore the natural and cultural history of the settlements that grew up along the bayou to create the "longest street in the world," Louisiana's Highway 1.  Rangers also offer walking tours of historic Thibodaux and point out Cajun, Creole, Victorian, Spanish, and Georgian architectural influences.
